Goal 4. Writing

Learning objectives focus on identifying main idea and details, recognizing differences in regional pronunciation, developing familiarity with language conventions, using verb tenses accurately, initiating and sustaining conversations, paraphrasing, comprehending grade-level text with assistance, recognizing some literary techniques, taking detailed notes, and constructing more advanced paragraphs.
