i have to keep a language learning diary and i am a bit confused.I have to write a tas description and a goal.what is a difference,can someone give an example?

ups..task description:)

The the goal is the end product you want to achieve.

The task description is HOW you are going to go about achieving that goal.

For instance, something simple, my goal is to make cookies. The task description would be the steps - one by one- of how I am going to make the cookies.

What is a "tas description"?

Goal: http://www.answers.com/goal

Yes, simple:)Thank you

is fun

In the context of a language learning diary, a task description is a detailed explanation of the specific activity or exercise you plan to engage in. It outlines what you will do, how you will do it, and the resources you will use. On the other hand, a goal represents the overall objective or target you want to achieve in your language learning journey.

To better understand the difference between a task description and a goal, here's an example:

Task Description: Complete a dialogue exercise from your textbook. Write a conversation between two people discussing their weekend plans using the vocabulary and grammar you have learned in class. Use online dictionaries and grammar resources to ensure accuracy.

Goal: Improve my conversational skills by practicing dialogues in order to become more comfortable with using the vocabulary and grammar in real-life scenarios.

In this example, the task description outlines the specific activity (writing a dialogue exercise) and provides details on how it should be done (using specific vocabulary and grammar, researching online resources for accuracy). The goal, however, is broader and relates to a desired outcome (improve conversational skills) while also highlighting the purpose of the task (becoming more comfortable in real-life language use).

Remember, task descriptions and goals work together in your language learning diary, with the goal setting the direction and purpose, while task descriptions provide actionable steps to achieve that goal.
