Lesson aims are important because they provide trainers and course directors with clear objectives, make planning easier by framing the focus of the lesson, and allow for evaluation of whether learners achieved the stated goals. They also help learners understand the purpose of the lesson and provide a standard against which their achievement can be tested.
