TASK 2 

1. Make learning notes of each Learning Activity in this module with a critical and
creative thinking approach.
2. Create a resume as a learning conclusion from this module.

Learning Note and Resume of English for Social Communication

One of the primary purposes of learning a second language is communication. This module
entitled English for Social Communication. This module helsp the learners and the teachers
understand well about types of text. Based on generic structure and language feature
dominantly used, texts are divided into several types. In this module i have learned two types
of texts, they are descriptive and report text.This module consists of four learning activities.

Learning Activity 1
In this activity i have learned about descriptive text, specifically in describing what people
and animals look like. I learned the benefit of the text as its social function, i tried to identify
the language features (words, phrases, sentences) that are mostly applied in this kind of text. 
A descriptive text is made up of identification or general statement and description element.
Identification introduces and identifies specific objects (a person, thing, place, animal, or
event) intended to be described. Descriptive Text in this activity explains about what a person
or an animal,  is like. It is about sensory experience, how something looks, sounds, shapes.
Mostly it is about visual experience, but description also deals with other kinds of perception.
It can be said that the descriptive text is a meaningful text that describes particular person or
animals. It reveals the experience related to the sense, such as appearance, shape, sound, taste
is. In particular, it is a text which says what a person or an animal is. Its purpose is to give a
visual picture of person, or animal being described, such as My favourite teacher; Cockatoo
(a specific bird) by explaining the characteristics, appearance,  physical  features,  or
anything  relate  to  what  the  writer describes. Generic structure of descriptive text are
identification and description. The language features of descriptive are Focusing on a specific
object, Generally using Present Tense ,Using linking verbs and verbs to classify things and
describe appearances, characteristics, parts, and functions, Frequently using pre- and post-
modified noun phrases, Using adjectives and adverbs to add information to nouns and verbs
in the provision of detailed information, Using adverbial phrases of manner, place, or time,
Using words explaining characteristics features (size, shape, location, color, etc), Using
details to visualize the topic, Providing examples (using the phrases for instance, such as, to
illustrate, or to demonstrate), and Using the topic word or the topic-synonymous word
repeatedly.

Learning Activity 2
In this activity i still learned about desriptive text but in different object, they are things and
places . It can be said that any descriptive text is a meaningful text that describes and reveals
particular thing or place. The purpose of the text to give a visual picture of a thing, such as
my favourite books that describe specific books, or a picture of a tourism place, such as
Komodo National Park by explaining its features, forms, types, location, or anything related
to what the writer describes. The purpose of the descriptive text is clear, that is to describe,
represent or reveal an object, either abstract or concrete. Explanation and examples of this
descriptive text helped me as English teachers who are still a long journey to learn English.
By analyzing the social function, as well as the language features that are mostly used in this
kind of text, i understand it more.

Learning Activity 3
In this activity i have learned about report text, specifically in classifying report and
compositional report. By observing and identifying report texts in spoken and written types, i
learned purpose of the report text or its social function, as well as the language features that
are mostly found in this kind of text. Report text is text which concerned with general
categories of things rather than events and happenings and with informing about technical
and scientific topics. Generic Structure of report text are Opening general statement/general
classification and Facts about various aspects of the subject. There are differences in social
function of this text. The function of Classifying report is to organize and describe a field or
topic into a class and subclass hierarchy. And the function of Compositional Report is to
organize and describe a field or topic according to its part (a part or whole part). Language
Features of report text are Use simple present tense, Use action verb, Use nouns or noun
phrases, Use linking verb and Descriptive language. This module tries to dissolve theory and
practice with clear pedagogic intent of equipping me with a generative set of knowledge of
report text.

Learning Activity 4
In this activity i have learned about comparative report and historical report. The social
function of comparative report is to identify the similarities and differences between two or
more classes or things. The social function of Historical report is to give information about
the way things were in relation to a particular historical period or side. Language Features of
this text are Generalised participants are initially represented in simple noun groups, Relating
verbs link an entity with its attributes, Timeless present tense (with the exception of an
historical report) and Attitudinal vocabulary is unusual as the emphasis is on facts rather on
opinion.
In the forum discussion we discuss about the similarities and differences between descriptive
and report text. The similarities of Both the report and descriptive text try to show rather than
tell the reader about the factual condition of the object.  Readers by themselves will catch the
impressive point of the object through that showing writing style. The diffrences is the scope
of the written object. If we talk about, eg: bicycle, it belongs to report text. It will talk about
bicycle in general; its parts, physical strengh, function for certain people or other general
characters of bike. In the other hand, descriptive text will convey more focus, for example
"my bicycle" with its specific characters; colour, lengh, wheel style, etc.

The materials in this module is related to basic of competence for junior high school student.
I am junior high teacher and i have taught the materials in my class. By learning this module i
get more knowledges about descriptive and report text, especially in types of report text.
Overall, materials in module 3 are very interesting and usefull for me as an english teacher. I
hope I can apply my new knowledges to improve my teaching skill in my class.
