Abstract

Focus and direction are the primary aspects of teaching and learning when you are dealing with young learners. The age demands it; however it is observed that it is the least important task they are persuaded to. Any task of learning requires well-defined steps of goal setting that eventually transcending them to their accomplishments. At the same time, consistent efforts in the direction of their set goals are the keys to their actual success of learning. When given a choice of attempting a particular task, like joining a Language and a Literature Club, it was observed that more than average number of learners had specific goals in being a part of each clubs. The present paper aims at studying the goal setting objectives of the young learners towards the learning process. It also presents the contributions of the learners thatwere instrumental in achieving their well-defined personal and profession goals. The study is based on Edward Locke's Goal Setting Theory which postulates that people work better and harder and are motivated when they are inclined to achieve a particular target.
