Then based on your stated GOAL just now, how will you achieve it (OBJECTIVES)?

Example of Goals & Objectives

Writing both goals and objectives makes it easier for the funding organisation to understand the benefits and the outcomes of the proposed community project.

​Why are both Goal & Objective important elements in Proposal?

So what are Goals and Objectives?

How to write them?

Goals?

Goals are what you wish to accomplish but usually they aren’t measurable.

Note:

It's easy to write Goals because you don't have to be too specific!

Goals

• large statements of what you hope to accomplish.

• NOT very measurable (intangible) (example of words: efficient, effective, fun, exciting, raise, spend, cover, and etc.)

• create the setting for what you are proposing.

Example of Goals

• To organise an array of special and fun activities.

• To raise funds for handicapped children in Kuala Selangor.

• To raise participants' self-esteem in presentation.

Objectives?

Objectives are operational, tell specific things you will be accomplishing in your project and are very measurable.

Note:

Objectives MUST REFLECT the goals and MUST be MEASURABLE!

Examples of key words of Objectives

• buy two vending machines,

• hire one helper

• give three talks on 3R by one speaker from...

• set up 50 booths for...

Goals can be intangible and non-measurable, but

objectives are defined in terms of tangible targets.

​

For example:

the goal to “provide excellent customer service” is intangible, but

the objective to “reduce customer wait time to one minute” is tangible and helps in achieving the main goal​

Consider this:

​

Goal:

I want to eat lunch today.

​

​Objectives:

​I will order ONE plate of nasi campur with ONE chicken rendang and THREE side dishes. I will order TWO glasses of water to go with the main dish.

​

Goal: I want to eat lunch today.

​​Objectives:

​I will order ONE plate of nasi campur with ONE chicken rendang and THREE side dishes. I will order TWO glasses of water to go with the main dish.

​

​This means, you can write any goal, but the objective is on HOW will you accomplish it? And you need to provide CLEAR, MEASURABLE and DETAILED information on how will you achieve your stated goal.

Remember your GOAL in UMT that you have shared earlier?

​

Do you understand how to write OBJECTIVES to your goal now?

Open Ended

REWRITE ONE MEASURABLE objective to your goal in studying here in UMT.

​Take a look at the example of a company's goal and objective:

Paralellism (graded)

Both goals and objectives require the use of infinitive verbs (To +Verb ):

To provide....

To conduct...

To assign ....

Multiple Choice

Which is the best key words that are MEASURABLE and reflect the following goal:

Goal

To provide ample time, practice and opportunities to speak and interact in English.

Objective:

l To conduct a 200-hour intensive English course

• To conduct

• a 200-hour

• intensive English course

a 200-hour​ is the BEST key words for measurable (intensive English course).

​

​To conduct is not measurable since it is a declarative word that can also be mistaken as Goal.

​

​intensive English course is measurable but not good enough since it does not describe more than just one adjective.

To conduct a 200-hour intensive English course​

​

​
