• We start with a small introduction about the subject we are going to deal with
• Then we present our objectives, which particularize the educational aim, and accurately describe the expected results of the educational activity. Results must be designated in a clear, concrete and observable way, so the extent of their success could be evaluated. Thus, the meanings of the verbs we use for describing the objectives are of major importance and cannot be misunderstood

Objectives are formed in three levels:
• Knowledge acquired by learners
• Skills developed by learners, (what they would be able to do)
• Attitudes which can be acquired or changed by learners, (attitude is a settled way of thinking or feeling which mostly affects behaviour)
