Final assignment  M1

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.

2.   Provide comments on each of the activities including its strength and

weaknesses.

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 weaknesses    : in this activity there is no task to make a personal letter. the
learning activity one 1 task 1 made the students confuce because it asked the
asignment 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 confuce to difference
of 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
analitycal 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 analitycal 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.

My opinion about this particular model is the modul is very well.completed by

many ways to explain the material. Tthey are personal letter, annoucement,
analitycal exposition and Hortatory exposition. There are video, and some examples.
It’s also consisted of many tasks to check how deep the students understand about
the texts. Next, the module will be better if the text is submeted in one file for one
activity. The student will be easy to send the task and the lecturer will be easy to
check it.
