YOUR STUDY HABITS
You have been doing the Language Development course one year. For the last semester, especially, we've practiced independent study. Independent study can often be more effective then studying in a class, because we can study at our own pace and focus on our own goals and interests. But if you don't have good study habits, you will be less effective.
Think about your study habits this semester. Copy and paste the following and answer / usually / seldom / never . You may add comments, if you like.

-Be ready, awake, and motivated
usually.
-Choose fun or interesting activities that are a little difficult (not too easy or way to diffucult)
always.
-Preview the title or any picture to focus
usual/
-Try to listen or read once & then test yourself
seldom.
-Listen or read many times to focus on any new language
seldom.
-Focus only on common, useful words
usually.
-Review often (especially vocabulary)
usually.

SETTING NEW GOALS
Learners who make realistic goals and work hard to achieve them learn much faster. Please think of your goals and answer the following. Be specific.

-Have you made progress to reach your goals this year?
Yes. I always think about my weak point.
-Have your long-term goals for the future changed?
No. I only think my weak point.
-How often do you plan to study on your own during vacation? During school time (next school year)?
I want to study as I can.
-What are you going to study? NetAcademy/Web sites (Ferris Lab) /Books
Net Academy.
-What skills are you going to study?
Listening skills and Reading skills.


Remember you have until the end of January to continue your Independent Study Blog.
