INTRODUCTION
In some quarters, the view is taken (often with an air of sarcasm) that
any ESL/ EFL program that is not ESP (english for specific purposes) is ENOP (
english for No obvious purpose). In order words, the purpose of any language
program should be clear to the participants and to the outside world. Since
purposeful curriculum is a central idea in systematic curriculum design, the
focus of this chapter will be on transforming the information gathered in a
needs analysis into usable statements that describe that purposes of a program. The nature and
relationship among a needs, goals, and objectives, the proses involved in
specifiyinginstructional objectives,arguments for and agaiants the use of
objectives, and example golas and objectives. The process of needs analysis can
generate a tremendous amount of information that must be sorted and utilized in
some way within the curriculum. One way to use this information is to apply
what has been learned in he needs analysis for yhe formulation the program
goals and bjectives.

DISCUSSION
A.
GOALS
Program goals are defined is book as
general statement concerning the desirable and attainable program purpose and aims based on perceived language and
situation needs. In a brain news program the perceptions maybe based solely on
a formal needs analysis in a well
established program, such perceptions will more likely be based on information
gathered along the way during the ongoing evaluation process. In deriving goals
from perceived needs, four points should be remembered:
1. Goals
are general statement of the programs’ purposes.
2. Goals
should usually focus on what the program hopes to accomplish in the future, and
particularly on what the students should be able to do when they leave the
program.
3. Goals
can serve as one basis for developing more precise and observable objectives.
4. Goals
should never be viewed as permanent, that is, they should never become set in
cement.
Goals may take many shapes. They may be language and
situation-centered as in the three goals included in the statement: “in our
program, the students will learn how to fill out forms in French, read a menu,
and order a meal. “ They may be functional, like in the statement: “ The goal
of our course is that the students will be able to converse in social German
with a focus on greetings, conversational openers, polite rejoinders, and
farewells.” They may be strictly structural, like in the statement : “ the
center’s aim is to help students learn the grammatical system of French “
The process of defining goals makes
the curriculum develop and participants consider, or reconsider, the program’s
purposes with specific reference to what the student should be able to do when
they leave the program. Thus goal statements can serve as a basis for
developing more specific descriptions of the kinds of learning behaviors the
program will address. These more specific descriptions are sometimes called
instructional objectives.
B.
OBJECTIVES
Instructional objectives will be defined
here as specific statements that describe the particular knowledge, behavior, and
skills that the learner will be expected to know of perform at the end of a
course or program. Consider the following “objectives” that were stated for an
upper-level ESL for academic purposes class at a well-known American university
:
By
the end of the course, a student will be able to :
1. Prepare
a term paper (including footnotes, bibliography, title page, and so forth )
2. Take
notes on a lecture
3. Answer
question following such a talk.
C.
FROM
GOALS TOWARD OBJECTIVES
Once having thought through what will be
taught in each classroom, planners can make efforts to coordinate a cross and
through-out an entire language program. In other words, the process of
converting perception of students’ its into goals and objectives provides the
basic that can in turn be used to define and organize all teaching activities
are in hand, the basic elements of the students’ needs can be analyzed assessed, and
classified to create a coherent teaching / learning experience . in short, objectives provide the building
blacks from which curriculum can be created ,molded, and revised.
Consider
for example, the result of a needs analysis conducted by Schmidt (1981). Using
a case study approach to needs assessment, she found English for academic
purposes (EAP) needs as follows:
1. The
needs to understand the implicit relationship between terms in a table or
outline presented in lectures
2. The
needs to be able, in reviewing the notes, to understand the implicit
relationship order to fill in the connecting prose that ties the main parts of
an entire accept together
3. The
need to be able to deal simultaneously with a new concept and new vocabulary
presented in a lecture in order to express that concept in her notes in English
4. The
need to be able to express generalizations or definition in an essay exam,
instead or simply giving an example
5. The
need to be able to do all the above under time pressure.
The perceived needs sound by
Schmidt can be changed into statements of course (or program) goals with
relative ease. For instance, with a few minor change, the following program
goals might be created
By the end of our
program, the student will be able:
1. Understand
the implicit relationships between terms in able or outline presented the lecture
2. Understand
the implicit relationship in order to fill in the connecting prose that ties
the main parts of an entire concept together
3. Deal
simultaneously with a new concept and new vocabulary presented in a lecture in
order to express that concept in notes in English
4. Express
generalization or definition is an essay exam, instead of simply giving an
example
5. Do
all of the above under time pressure
In other situation the perceived needs may be
specified in great detail. As result, the detail needs may have to be stated so
generally that they must be narrowed and
better defined before useful program
goals can be derived from them.
Lets once again examine the goals that were derived
above from Schmidts (1981) Needs analysis.
1. Understand
the implicit relationship between term in a table or outline presented in lectures
2. Understand
the implicit relationship in order to fill in the connecting process that ties
the main parts of an entire concepts together.
These two goals can be analyzed into three parts :
one related to table, another about outline, and a third focused on essay.
These parts can then be reorganized into three potential related objective as
followers:
By the end of the
course the students will be able to identity implicit relationship between
parts of a concepts : in a table, in an outline, or in essay
Breaking goals downs into their basic component and
logically reorganizing those components into classes of more specific potential
objectives can also lead to rethinking. This latters possibility would probably
require confirming the reality of the newly perceived needs by conducting
further needs assessment. In the end, this group of curriculum developers might
derive five potential objective from the two goals given above as followers:
By the end of the
course the students will be able to identity implicit relationship in academic
English between parts of a concepts ; in
a flow chart, in a table, and in an outline, as well as in the prose describing
a chart or table and in an essay.
Another group of curriculum developers, even in the
unlikely event that they came up with the same perceived needs, might decide
that students really only need to understand the implicit relationship in
tables because the connection are so patently clear in outlines.
The steps involved in narrowing the perception of
students needs to realizable program goals and further to instructional
objectives can be summarizes as followers ;
1. Examine
the needs of the students as discovered and presented in the needs analysis
documents
2. State the needs of the students in terms of
the students in terms of realizable goals for the program.
3. Narrow
the scope of there resulting goal statements:
·
By analyzing them into
their smallest units
·
By classifying those
units into logical grouping
·
By thinking through
exactly what it is that the students need to know or be able to do to achieve
the goals
4. State
the smaller more specific goals as objectives with as much precision as makes
sense in the contact using the guide line given in the reminder of this chapter.
Getting instructional
objectives on paper.
Source of ides for objectives
A number of sources are available to help
formulate objective from the goals of program. These include are there programs
and their curriculums, the books and journals that constitute the language
teaching literature and educational taxonomy that were worked out as far back
as the 1950s.
Other
language program
Any
statement of goals and objective or any course description will be avoided, and
new creative ideas for student needs goals, and objective may come to light.
The Literature
The examination of the books and journals
devoted to language traching, expecially with an eye fortopiscs like needs analysis
and curriculum development, will lead to the realization the language teachers
have been working on this issues for years.
Taxonomies
In language program at he cognitive
domain appropriately refers to the kinds of language knowledge and language
skills the student will be learning in the program. I other word any cognitive
goals in language teaching might batter beterned language goals, that is
language learning content of the program.
Sound instructional
objective
The
following objective have resulted from this process
1. Distinguish
between curriculum goals and instructional objective
2. Recognize
complete or incomplete instructional objective
3. Recognize
vaguely stated instructional objective as well as clearly stated ones
4. Write
clear and complete objective including subject performance condition measure
and criterion level.
Subject
The subject will of
always be the same in every situation .in fact the objective I stated at the
begin of the last section revered to what the readers would be able to do by
the end of this chapter.
Performance
The statement of expected
performance is in couched internal term. If need have been established, they
can usually be conceptualized in term of what the student should be like, or be
able to do, when he or she has finished a given course. Objectives there are
framed terms will reflect qualities, skills, or knowledge that its to students
should attain by course end without necessarily specifying the route by which
she or he will get there.
Condition
The expected performance is to
“write missing elements….in a graph, chart, or diagram from information
provided in a….passage”. The condition under which the performance will take
place involved number of consideration. The statement of condition is actually
the clarification of what it means to perform whatever is being required of the
students.
Measure
The key to the measure part of an objective
is to ask how the performance will be observed or tested. Thus, measure is that
part of an objective that states how the desired performance will be observed.
Such observations may take the form of a test-item specification or they may be
more like the task description given above.
Criterion
The point is that language
educators are called upon to make decision about their student’s lives. Hence,
cut points and the collapsing of scores across objectives are issues that must
be faced, and criterion levels within the objectives may become very important.
D.
PRO
AND CONS OFCURRICULUM OBJECTIVES
Battle Lines Are
Quickly Drawn
However not everyone in the
language teaching field agrees with the of using instructional objective. Like
the continuum from very general goals as in a collage catalog to very to very
specific instructional, objective, there seems to be a continuum of attitudes
among language teacher that ranges from abhorrence of anything resembling an
instructional objective.
Association With
Behavioral Psychology
Though association with behavior
psychology might be a positive factor for those who still strongly to the idea.
Objective describe performance or behavior because objective is specific rather than broad or general and because performance,
or behavior is what we can be specific about. To avoid the negative impact of
the behavior objectives label, they have been called instructional objective in
this book.
Some Thing Just
Cannot Be Quantified
Perhaps the teacher think that the
students should not only read the story, but also understand that the “gun” the
“fyce” and the bear all have symbolic value, this objective too observation in
a quiz or of essay. of course the teacher may want to clarify what conditions
pertain, for instance, whether the students should be allowed to assign their
own values to these symbolic or if the values should should be prescribed.
Objectives Trivialize
Instruction
Another criticism raised about
objectives is that they trivialize education by forcing teacher to focus only
on thing that can be expressed as objective. like so many criticism of
objectives, the trivialize charge is an argument against apposition that no sensible
educator would ever take.
Objective
Curtail a Teachers Freedom
The charge has also
been leveled that objective interfere with the teacher freedom in particular
with the teachers freedom to respond to
problems and ideas that arise spontaneously out of the process of teaching.
Language Learning Cannot be Expressed in
Objective
Tumposky (1984) suggests that objectives are
inappropriate in view of the nature of foreign language learning, since
language is creative and unpredictable.
She indicates that objectives are best
reserved lower order skills. A similar criticism was reflected in the first changes notes above that more
complex and creative aspects of learning cannot be reduced to objectives.
E.
OBJECTIVE
DO NOT BITE
In general, however people who advocate and use
objectives inhabit the same planets as those who do not. In fact they might be
in the next classroom dealing with the same types of students who have the same needs, but trying to
express those needs in terms of what
they think the students should be able to do
at the end of instructions.
Conclusion
Questions :
1. What
warnings were given in materials to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that
may arise in specifying goals and objectives ?
2. Are
behavioral objectives related to behavioral psychology ?
3. Do
you feel that three is any justification for developing objectives that
trivialize instruction or limit teachers freedom in the classroom ? why or why
not ?
