How can learners set goals to improve their English?
Teacher Dee recommends the four boxes approach.
First make four boxes representing the four major language skills: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking.
Then under each of the skills, focus on specific learning activities that help you improve that skill.
For example:
Under reading, set a goal to read a short passage of just about 100 words every day, then extend the goal to reading articles, short stories and lastly novels.
