learners, may not always focus on particular areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>language</strong>. The aim <strong>of</strong> a<br />

lesson may also be listening to a story for pleasure or encouraging a positive<br />

attitude towards <strong>the</strong> foreign <strong>language</strong>. To identify and select <strong>the</strong> most<br />

appropriate aims, we need to ask ourselves two questions:<br />
