Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris

This course aims to provide students an opportunity to explore and experience basic concepts of vocabularybuilding (part of speech, words with prefixes, words with suffixes, words with both prefix and suffix, antonym, synonym, homophone, homograph, and topical vocabulary) and the use of vocabulary in context. Within 16 meetings, the students will do individual work, pair work, as well as group work covering text analysis, vocabulary games and challenges, and some exercises in word building and sentence formation in written or oral context.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES (LO):

After attending all required meetings, participating actively in the discussion, and doing all tasks assigned in this course, the students are expected to be able to master intermediate English Grammar needed for both presenting high-school (SMU) structure materials and coping with their studies.

ORGANIZATION & TOPICS:

This book consists of five units, each of which focuses on a particular point of English Grammar. Every unit systematically consists of a PRE-TEST (used as a warming-up activity before the presentation of the main materials), GRAMMAR EXPLANATION & EXERCISES, SELF-ASSESSMENT, REFLECTION ON LEARNING, and a POST-TEST (to measure students’ mastery). The explanation and some exercises in this course material are taken and adapted from various English grammar sources; thus, any confusion caused by the explanations can be addressed by consulting the original sources as mentioned in the references in every unit. The topics include: Modifiers (A – F), Passive Voice (A – G), Degrees of Comparisons (A-G), Conditional Sentences (A – G) and Adverbial Clauses in Complex Sentences (A – D)

Literal reading is pre-requisite to this course. Interpretative reading is intended to equip students of lower intermediate level with the ability to understand, extract, analyze and evaluate ideas or information contained in given texts. Through this course, students will be exposed to learn how to convey the unstated meaning of reading texts, differentiate facts from opinions, advance their vocabulary repository and write their critical insights about what they read. They will also learn to take the gist out of the texts in given contexts. After taking part in the course, students are expected to develop excellent in-depth knowledge of interpretive reading so that ultimately they will become confident and proficient readers

This two-credit semester course aims to provide a forum and opportunity for the students at English department of FKIP Unram to explore issues dealing with method, media, material and assessment in ELT (English Language Teaching).
