Short-Term Goals vs. Long-Term Goals
Short-Term Goals vs. Long-Term Goals
Discuss, discuss, discuss! Is having a goal in life effective in becoming successful?
Is having a goal helpful in motivating a person?
Do you think people have fewer goals as they get older?
Do you have any goals that you feel are unrealistic?
How do people's goals change from country to country?
What do you remember? If you are in the same group as you were last week,
try to remember each of group members’ long-term and short-term learning goals.
Ex: “Abdoulaye’s long-term goal is to become an
international trade manager. His short-term goal for
this spring term of Free ESL is to improve his speaking
skills over the phone.”
Find out! If you are in a DIFFERENT group this week, or if you CAN’T
REMEMBER anybody’s goals, ask each of your group members about his/her short-term and long-term learning goals.
Ex.: “Sothea, what are your long-term ESL learning goals? What are your short term ESL learning goals for our Free ESL class this spring?”
Write it down! Write down everybody’s short-term learning goals for our
spring Free ESL class on paper.
Write down YOUR short-term learning goal(s) for our spring Free ESL class on paper, so I can collect them!
Have you ever played “hot potato”?
Here is an example of the original game (usually played by children)…
We will do something slightly different.
In a circle, we will toss a ball back and forth: If YOU catch the ball, you must quickly
tell the group your name, and your short-term learning goal for this Spring term.
Then, throw the ball to someone else! Move QUICKLY!
Attending ESL Class An Independent Language Learner
I attend English classes at a language program in my city because I want to improve my communication skills. English has become the international language around the world, and I might be able to get better employment and make more friends if I learn to speak fluently. I take four classes a day that all focus on different language skills including reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar.
Attending ESL Class An Independent Language Learner
I think that some people have a natural ability to pick up a language and master it, but I don't think I fit that group. Actually, learning to speak English well requires a great amount of effort, patience, and practice. Too often, students speak English in their classes, but they go back to using their native language after school ends. In fact, if you want to adjust to a new culture, you should make it a point to study, review, and practice everything you are studying. Otherwise, you will never learn and fit into any group.
Listen Again & Take Notes to Answer the Questions
Be prepared to answer these questions in your group:
How many ESL classes does the speaker take every day? What five skills are included?
What are the speaker’s two goals for English language learning? Do you think they are short or long term goals? Why?
What are the three things required for learning to speak English well? Do you agree that there are only three? What is missing?
How does the speaker describe fitting into groups of language learners? Do you have personal experience about this?
What is the speaker’s advice for adapting to a new culture? Do you agree with that advice? Do you have different advice to author?

Word Stress, a.k.a. IntonationKnowing where and when to emphasize the stressed (or
important) words (and syllables inside the words) can give you confidence in speaking!
Is this familiar?: “get a better water heater”
“get a better water heater” – or
“get a better water heater”

Do you like the dots or arrows better?
Add or to show intonation and underline the stressed syllables.
