On réfléchit aux objectifs!
Goal setting. Première étape: As we are working to be our best language learners, we need to regularly check in on our progress toward our goals. Use the questions below to reflect upon the goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the chapter.
My two short-term goals were:
Short-Term Goal 1:

Check the blank below that applies to your current status regarding this goal:

- _______ I made progress toward this goal
- _______ I have not made progress toward this goal and should make a revision to my goal or my action plan
Short-Term Goal 2:
