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 lexico-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.

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.
