Answer
1.
a) Listening skills are vital for your learners. Of the 'four skills,' listening is by
far the most frequently used. Listening and speaking are often taught together,
but beginners, especially non-literate ones, should be given more listening
than speaking practice. It's important to speak as close to natural speed as
possible, although with beginners some slowing is usually necessary. Without
reducing your speaking speed, you can make your language easier to
comprehend by simplifying your vocabulary, using shorter sentences, and
increasing the number and length of pauses in your speech. b) Speaking
English is the main goal of many adult learners. Their personalities play a
large role in determining how quickly and how correctly they will accomplish
this goal. Those who are risk-takers unafraid of making mistakes will
generally be more talkative, but with many errors that could become hard-to-
break habits
b) Finding authentic reading material may not be difficult, but finding materials
appropriate for the level of your learners can be a challenge. Especially with
beginners, you may need to significantly modify texts to simplify grammar
and vocabulary.
c) writing skills will not be used much outside your class. This doesn't mean that
they shouldn't be challenged to write, but you should consider their needs and
balance your class time appropriately. Many adults who do not need to write
will enjoy it for the purpose of sharing their thoughts and personal stories, and
they appreciate a format where they can revise their work into better English
than if they shared the same information orally.
d) Grammar is often named as a subject difficult to teach. Its technical language
and complex rules can be intimidating. Teaching a good grammar lesson is
one thing, but what if you're in the middle of a reading or speaking activity
and a student has a grammar question? Some students may have studied
grammar in their home countries and be surprised that you don't understand,
"Does passive voice always need the past participle?" But even if your
student's question is simple and jargon-free, explaining grammar is a skill you
will need to acquire through practice
e) Pronunciation involves far more than individual sounds. Word stress, sentence
stress, intonation, and word linking all influence the sound of spoken English,
not to mention the way we often slur words and phrases together in casual
speech 4
f) Volburary Kosakata atau vocabulary, jika dilihat dari definisinya, adalah
sekumpulan kata-kata familiar yang dikuasai oleh seseorang. Kosakata
umumnya juga berhubungan erat dengan perkembangan umur seseorang,

6. “The Wisdom behind the Global Disease”.

At the moment of this pandemic, we must keep ourselves healthy and clean so
as not to be susceptible to disease, by following protocol. And minimize any
outdoor activities, try to get out if necessary. And at home too we have to
exercise, at least like pushups, sit ups, run small, and so forth to make the
body strong and physically insusceptible to attack
