Setting Aims/Goals• What do you want your students to achieve?
• How do you choose your goals?
• How do you reach your goals?
• Why is it so important with goals when you teach?
• Are the aims realistic, relevant, understandable (SMART)
• Which signs show that you are on the right track
• When is the project a success?
• Are you able to evaluate the aims?ESP- Contact Seminar - Haugesund_ 2012 Birte K.Peulicke-DK & Cees Brederveld- NL

Evaluation• Why Evaluation?
• What is necessary to make an evaluation
• What are we going to evaluate
• Our Teaching • The students’ outcome
• The teacher – their work – their network
• Our project work

Evaluation
Evaluation – two kinds:
1. Formative2. Summative
Formative: You evaluate during the project work (Might be a good idea to make a half way
evaluation)
Summative: You evaluate the project when you have finished
You start a new project – set new goals – start all over again
