Be in every entry. Be about the skills and strategies you use when you study. Be related to your analysis. Identify what you need to change or improve.
Specific and detailed You should write a couple of sentences for each goal to describe how you are going to achieve the goal. Realistic It should be something you can achieve and something that still challenges you. Progressive goals should be different and become more challenging each week. Measurable You should be able to judge to what extent you have completed your individual goals. Be specific about the skills and strategies you use when you study not simply a copy of whats on your homework schedule.
Guidance
You will practice reflecting, analysing and setting goals during the Study and Communication Skills module. If you are unsure how to write any of the above, you should speak to your teacher. DONT write about your personal life details about meeting friends, watching TV or how you spend your free time should not be in your Learner Diary. You do not need to worry about the quality of your English or if you actually achieve your goals. You will only be judged on how well you reflect and analyse your study skills and habits. You should write about how you study for all of your subjects and set goals that help you improve in different areas.
