1. What is your current language level? (For this class, consider your listening fluency, reading fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and test scores). How do you feel about you ability? Are you satisfied?

I don't satisfy all my English ability. I' m not good at reading and writing English because I hate study vocaburaly and grammer. Also, I always feel that speaking English with native speakers is so embarrasing. However, I would like to communicate with a lot of people in the word, so I want to speak more fluently like native speakers.

2. What are your long-term English goals? (getting a job using English or requiring a high TOEIC score, volunteer work, maintaining relationships, travel, entertainment, living abroad, etc.)

My goals are to get a high score of TOEIC(850 score) and TOEFL(80 ibt based). I would like to go abroad someday, and I want to be a English teacher in the future.

3. What are your short-term goals for this class this semester?

My goals for this class this semester is improve my reading ability. I want to get good score in TOEIC test .

4. What is your plan in Language Development to reach these goals?

(NetAcademy2: listening, reading, TOEIC, grammar dojo)

(Ferris Online English Lab: reading, vocabulary, listening to news, topics, or conversations)

As I said before, my vocaburaly is poor, and my reading ability is terrible. Therefore, I need to practice grammer dojo, and reading a lot.

You can add to or change these goals as the semester goes on. Please put a asterisk (*) by any new or changed info (so I can see how your goals have changed).
