Good Vs Bad Learning Objective

In this video, let’s examine the difference between a good and bad learning objective.
Good learning objectives are specific, measurable, realistic, and achievable. Most importantly, good objectives align with the lesson's overall goal.
Bad learning objectives are vague or too generic. They might be unrealistic or impossible to achieve and do not align with the overall goal of the lesson or unit.
Bloom's Taxonomy can be a powerful tool for writing good learning objectives and ensures that the learning objective is specific, measurable, and achievable.
For example, a bad learning objective would be:
By the end of this course, you will:
• Learn about the Civil War.
This objective is too vague, doesn’t specify what knowledge or skills the learner will acquire, and doesn’t use an action verb. A better version of this learning objective will be:
• Explain the causes of the Civil War.
This objective is more specific and uses the right verb that makes it measurable. It specifies that the learner should be able to analyze and comprehend the information rather than stating something generic.

I am teaching English as a second language in Chile in high school and the programs are driving me crazy. They mix basic grammar and complex grammar for students who barely know how to say their names in English. They are expected to be able to give opinions on certain topics when they haven't even learnt how to ask prices in a shop. It is imposible to teach properly this way.
