ANSWER :
1. Analyze parts of the learning activities throughout Module 1.

Learning Activity 1
The three personal letters show some differences, yet they also share some similarities in
terms of social function, text structure, and lexicon-grammatical feature.
In terms of social function, they are generally written to help people in building and maintaining
personal relationship. But more than that, each sender has his/her own purposes. The first letter
specifically sent to reconnect, ask and share news to an old friend who lives away. The second is sent
to make a new friendship relation and the third is to respond the previous letter sent to her.
In terms of structure, each of them has greeting, body of the letter, and closing. It is just different in
some detail part of each structure.
In terms of lexicon-grammatical feature, all of them use simple present to tell personal news,
past tenses to share past experiences. But they are different in some features. The first letter has the
date written on top, using casual greeting ‘Dear Fatima’ and ‘Love’ in the closing part showing close
relation. The second and the third letter has no date and the greeting is casual but not as intimate as
the first letter.

Learning Activity 2
Both printed and spoken announcements have the same general purpose, it is to share information
publicly about what has happened or will happen. The structure is not quite different, with the heading
at the beginning and followed by some details of the information. The spoken announcement begins
with greeting before coming to the point of announcement while the printed forms usually have title on
top of the announcement. Besides, in spoken announcement, the introduction of the announcer is
usually done at the beginning of the announcement while the printed form is usually at the end of the
announcement. Spoken announcements also requires the speaker to pay attention to the pronunciation
and intonation to make the information clear while the printed one is focusing on the punctuation marks
and other requirements of a good writing.
Learning Activity 3
An analytical expository text should be well-planned and well-structured to be a good one. It is
structured respectively from thesis to introduce the case and writer’s position, Arguments to support his
position, and reiteration to strengthen the thesis. Through a good analytical exposition, the writers are
able to persuade the reader that the case he is talking about is important by stating strong arguments to
support his position. Arguments are well supported with clear explanations and evidences.

Learning Activity 4
Hortatory exposition text, which aims to persuade the readers about what they should do and should
not be done, consists of thesis as the introduction of the idea/phenomenon that will be discussed. Then
followed by an argument which contains the opinions to make the idea proposed by the writer trusted.
And the last is recommendation which states the writer’s suggestion to do or not doing something
regarding things have been discussed.

Learning Activity 1
The strength : The learning activity 1 have explained completely about the personal letter.
It’s completed with the tutorial how to make personal letter.

The learning activity one 1 task 1 made the students confuse because it
asked the assignment but after checking the task there is no detail
instruction.

Learning Activity 2
The strength : The second learning activity explained about announcement completely.
It is also completed with spoken announcement.
The weaknesses :But, unfortunately, the written explanation about the spoken
announcement is not really detail. So the reader and listener confuse to
differentiate the structure of spoken and written announcement.

Learning Activity 3
The strength : The learning activity shows detail information about analytical exposition.
It’s explained detail and showed in video. How the analytical exposition is.
The weaknesses : In this learning activity, I don’t find the task about making meaning to know
how deep the student understand the task. I mean there is an analytical
exposition and there are some question about the text.
Learning Activity 4
The strength :The hortatory exposition is also explained completely. It is equiped with
video the tips and technique how to make. we know more the differences of
hortatory and analytical by comparing the text.
The weaknesses : In this activity also, there is not task about making meaning to know how
deep the student understand the task
3. Share your opinion about the contribution of this particular module to improve your
professional competencies.

The particular modul provides a lot of teaching and knowledge especially in understanding the
types of text, structure, lexico gramatical in a text.
Of course it was very useful for me as a teacher who taught English as a foreign language.
where the material is the basic material in understanding English which is very complex. especially, in
the 21th century where a teacher is not only required to master the material taught but also to master
technology as a supporter of effective learning.
Then, the particular module will be very useful for my students in terms of how to train their
understanding of the function of the text and how to write good and correct texts based on the correct
rules.
