Prior research “Much has been written about definitions
of task and the role of
tasks in second language acquisition (e.g.
Ellis 2000; Skehan 1996), as
well as the di¤erent stages in task-based
lessons (Willis 1996), and task

findings according to experts about task-
based learning.

paper showed at page 2 (at the last of first
pharagraph)
“ Just as principals and senior teachers
may neither fully understand nor support
the rationale for task-based learning,
traditional pencil and paper tests are not
aligned with methods which tend to place
more emphasis on speaking, listening,
and the communication of meaning.”
Author said that not all principals and
teachers know what the importance task
based learning to applied is, so the author
persuade the reader such as teachers and
others to read this article because this
article will discuss about that.
Describe the In this article there is description about
methodology you used the methodology used. Namely :
explanation in general about what
English and the importance of
English is.
In this part, there is prior research
that author gave about past findings
such as the background of the
information to those who might not
have that expertise. So the
sentences that referes to that is
“In 1999, a new administrative led
to a restructuring of the centralized
system to a decentralized one. This
implied that authority and
responsibility to govern or manage
schools rest with local government
whether at the level of the province,
and, particularly since 2004, of the
districts or schools themselves.
This change impacts on the school
management as well as the
curriculum. In terms of language
teaching, for example, due to the
many vernacular languages such as
Javanese, Balinese and Sundanese
with over 400 languages spoken in
Indonesia and 88 percent using
them as their first language
(Nababan, 1991), the teaching of
the local languages becomes the
target of each district.”

page 3 pharagraph 1
“Teachers in this case are
stakeholders playing key roles to
increase the educational quality of
schools through process standard to
achieve what has been stipulated in
graduate and content standards. In
fact, they face various challenges”
Indirectly, here the author
explained that teachers are playing
key roles in educational quality and
they face various challenges which
is important to teachers know.
Meanwhile, in this article there’s no
the description about the
 “This article is based on detailed
qualitative case studies (Carless 2001) of
three teachers in di¤erent schools
(referred to as teachers A, B, and C)
implementing a task-based innovation in
Hong Kong primary schools, with pupils
aged six–seven years old.”
(Pharagraph 3 on page 1)
A Thesis Statement In my opinion, a thesis statement is such
as summarize the ideas or state our point
of view on the topic directly and often in
one sentence. So, the sentence that refers
to thesis statement in this article is
“Although I cover the issues separately
for convenience of exposition, I do not
wish to imply that there is no overlap
between the di¤erent themes. Use of the
mother tongue, for example, sometimes
results in increased noise levels. For each
of these themes, I identify challenges for
the implementation of task-based
learning with reference to the three case
study classrooms, and then make
suggestions relevant to classroom
practice.”
(Page 2 in second pjaragraph)
An Outline The sentences that refers to an outline
showed on pharagrap 2 page 2.
Four themes will be discussed: noise and
indiscipline; use of the mother tongue;
pupil involvement in tasks; and the role
of drawing and colouring in task-based
learning. Although I cover the issues
separately for convenience of
exposition.”
The author describe the main aspect that
will be discussed in this article.
methodology used in introduction.
The methodology that will be
applied in this article was explained
in abstarct only.
“ A survey schedule, interviews
with English language teachers,
focus group discussions with
students and class observation were
used to gather the data.”
The sentences that refers to the
thesis statement showed on
pharagraph 4 page 3
“My assessment based on my
research is that the approach of
communicative language teaching
which was created and first
implemented in western contexts
with English as the first or the
second language is difficult to
realize in Indonesia. It might be due
to the language context itself, the
insufficient knowledge of teachers
themselves, big classes, limited
time allocations and inadequate
learning materials. When the
teachers do not.”
Here, the author also pointed out of
her view. She has concluded that
communicative language education,
which was developed and first used
in western contexts where English
was either the primary or second
language, is challenging to apply in
Indonesia
The sentences that refers to an
outline showed on the last third
pharagraph page 3.
“This paper discusses several
challenges faced by teachers in
teaching English in a foreign
language context in the province of
Yogyakarta which is recognized as
the ‘education city’ of Indonesia.”
