EFP Objectives

Objectives refer to five main areas of study:

• Knowledge (e.g. subject content)
• Skills (e.g. critical thinking, problem solving)
• Attitudes (e.g. students' openness to new ideas, acceptance of diversity, or commitment to life-long learning)
• Social action (e.g. group-work type activities requiring discussion)
• Individual behaviour (e.g. everyday situations, actions, etc.)

The following criteria were taken into consideration in the process of compiling the current EFP objectives: achievable goals, action-oriented tasks, assessability, collaborative input, observable outcomes, relevancy, definable results.

The following points need to be taken into consideration:

• Students are expected to meet the objectives of the previous and current levels.
• Tasks should increase in difficulty, from simple to more complex, throughout the levels.
• Some objectives listed under one language skill (e.g. speaking) may be covered in other skills (e.g. reading).
• Selected objectives will also appear in the course outlines and pacing schedules.
• It is crucial that teachers are familiar with the objectives not only for the level they currently teach, but also adjacent levels.
