Wo de Mandarin Goals!

Mandarin Goal Setting Form: Trimester One

Name: Cindy Zeufack

Level: Intermediate

Grade: 7

What is your difficulty in Mandarin?

• Knowing and Applying the tones in everyday Mandarin
• Pronunciation

Please list your goals in different areas:

• Listening: Learning how to be able to tell what tone it is just by listening.

• Oral: Being able to use pronunciation properly.

• Reading: Recognizing the characters accurately.

• Character Writing: Being able to use all of the characters that I learn during the trimester and apply them to conversations with other people. Knowing stroke order by heart and using them to make better characters.

• Classroom participation: To participate enthusiastically in all activities.

For achieving my goal, I would like to do:

• Listening: I will review the tones, and remember the sound of the vowel when influenced by the tone, and make sure to try and put the tone in the dictation.

• Oral: Practice my pronunciation every other day.

• Reading: Keep a record of the characters learnt and memorize them by heart.

• Character Writing: Checking Gu Laoshi’s Mandarin Blog for stroke order and practicing it. Use the book record of characters to help me.

• Classroom participation: Apply the SLR’s: Collaborate constructively—work with different people; reason critically—use different characters; think creatively—for projects; live ethically—reuse paper that hasn’t been fully used and learn enthusiastically—give 100% effort in class.
