(1999). Teaching Short-Term and Long-Term Goal-Setting to ESL Students for Educational, Personal, and Career Application. Action Research Monograph. Because an English-as-a-second-language (ESL) teacher in Pennsylvania observed from the intake questionnaires completed by her students that many ESL students lack short- and long-term goal-setting skills, she undertook an action research project to help ESL students develop the short- and long-term goal-setting skills needed for educational, personal, and career application. She established personal interview sessions with students, had students begin journals, and conducted question-and-answer sessions. She also developed activities to improve students' listening skills. The activities were designed to be sensitive to the different cultural backgrounds of the class's Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern students. During the course of the 6-week project, the student processed the procedures for setting short-term and long-term goals. At the beginning of the project, students could not seem to mesh educational and personal goals. As they worked on specific goals, however, they began… [PDF]
