impact you expect to see on your instructional capabilities and/or student literacy
learning.)(Example: I will _________so that I can__________; I will ________so that my

I will learn some useful strategies for teaching Chinese Literacy in a 9-week Chinese
Program so that my students will be able to listenspeak and write simple Chinese.
Rationale (Why these goals are important. Rationale should include principles of
exemplary literacy instruction)
Self-reflection (use your Week 1 Discussion Forum post, expand if you
wish):
Just like what I mentioned in Week 1 Discussion Form, my short-term goal for this
course is that I can learn as many effective teaching strategies as possible to better
help me enable my students to read and write Chinese more fluently. Considering it
is just a 9-week Chinese Program, so I just want to enhance my students'
listeningspeaking and reading skills.
Objectives (what you want to learn. Use the goals from your Week 1 post):
I will learn some useful strategies for teaching Chinese Literacy in a 9-week Chinese
Program so that my students will be able to listenspeak and write simple Chinese.
Resource needs (If you need more resources than our course reading material):
I think I should ask the Spanish teacher next door about some strategies that he
uses to teach
Steps:
1. Search online resources to see whether there are some good materials for
teaching reading and listening.
2. Seek for help from a Spanish teacher in my school to see if he has some good
experience that I can adapt into my Chinese.
3. Since I have 4 quarters each school year, I will evaluate the effectiveness at the
end of each quarter and make some changes to the next quarter.
