    These Can-Do statements are perfect for helping foreign language-learners develop more meaningful or "SMART" goals than "I will become fluent in a semester abroad." The novice-level statements ( such as "I can interact at a survival level in familiar contexts.") can also be useful for helping short-term study abroad participants identify and feel good about skills they have attained without having gotten to fluency.
