Learning a language is a process that takes time, effort and dedication. It is very important to be aware that learning is an individual process. Therefore, it is necessary to know what our motivations and expectations are, what our objective is (are), which strategies we can implement and which materials or resources we can use to improve our communicative skills. 


In order to start your Personal Plan of Work, you are going to set a specific learning objective in English to achieve by the end of October. Before writing, take into account the English levels review and consider your needs, your interests, the proposed strategies, the materials and the result or product you want at the end of this first plan.

This is a format for you to write your own objective or goal:



And these are some Examples  for you to take into account::



Linguistic and Social Abilities

    My goal with this course is to make my weaknesses become strengths, that the pronunciation, grammar and listening of the English language become something natural in my daily life and not be afraid of making mistakes when I start a conversation with another person. Something that would make me really happy is that at the end of this course I can read an entire book in English or to see my favorite movie without subtitles, so in a few years, in my working life, I would be able to make presentations in organizations to entrepreneurs from the rest of the world .

  16. Hi guys, Alejandro M. again, I want you to know that I consider myself like and autodidact person so, I actually like to learn things by my own. I find some difficulties at the moment I talk in third person; I always forget to add the "s" sound at the end of the verbs and I'm always confused when I have to use the verb "To Have", so I end up saying "She have or He have" I know, terrible mistakes. Also I would like to get better at Perfect Times (past, present and future), I'm not really involved with this and neither with irregular past participle verbs, the last thing I would like to improve is my academic vocabulary; words like nevertheless, therefore, whilst and others.
    I know I can take adventage of the previously posted links to review concepts, helping material from the blog and reading academic textbooks from my career subjects.

    1. Hi ALejandro!

      According to your reflection, there are several objectives you can have in mind:

      1. " I find some difficulties at the moment I talk in third person; I always forget to add the "s" sound at the end of the verbs and I'm always confused when I have to use the verb "To Have"..." in this case I suggest you to work on your grammar knowledge. To focus on details: grammar explanations and exercises.

      2. "the last thing I would like to improve is my academic vocabulary;" "and reading academic textbooks from my career subjects." this is another objective,

      So, What would you like to focus more? grammar or academic reading?
