LONG-TERM GOALS
• Important to have conscious awareness of your program goals
• Do your goals align with the students’ needs (not “desires”)?
• With the university to which most go?

SAME BED, DIFFERENT DREAMS?
Goal Instructional Implications
Success at work in C2, using L2
Grade for mastery over progress; teach & require culturally and age appropriate behavior; final tasks should reflect “remembering the future”. Would the students’ performance of the target material identify them as well-socialized members of C2 society?
Continuation of study in college
See “future work”, also, best to have program or separate levels of Chinese end at a point where S can begin at most popular college
“Communicate with natives”
Let’s get specific. Communicate with which natives? For what purpose? Need to produce dialogue-length performances for probable contexts.
Future tourism Relatively fixed contexts, speaking/listening focus, “getting point across” is good enough
Exposure to the language
Often ‘softer’ grading, relaxed pace
Exposure to the culture
L2 use not necessary, C2 behavior often not taught, only achievement or informational culture
Maintain enrollment now
Often soft grading, relaxed pace
