 MODUL 3:
ENGLISH FOR SOCIAL COMMUNICATION

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Module 3 which entitles English for Social Communication.
Based on the title, this module is aimed at helping the English Foreign Language
teachers on how to learn as well as to teach English to their students as a means of
social communication. English as a foreign language in Indonesia is not used for
daily communication in society, but mostly found in literary context in many

possess sound competence and performance in the English language that is the
focus of school instructions. Such mastery is required to ensure the EFL teachers’
effectiveness in planning, delivering as well as assessing their students’ learning
achievement. This module is aimed at engaging these teachers as the PPG
participants in learning activities that should lead them to better understanding
and command of the target language in EFL school instructions. This module is
designed to provide learning activities for the PPG participants to promote their
comprehension skills in written texts as well as spoken language. The activities
will focus on the knowledge and skills required to comprehend and express
explicit and implicit meanings in two text types: (1) Descriptive text and (2)

taste and other kinds of perception. In general both typical texts are categorized as
“factual texts”. It is often said as “twin brother” of descriptive text. But actually to
distinguish between Descriptive Text and Report Text is easy, namely the first one

in general. In other words descriptive text describes a specific object while the
report text describes common object. Descriptive text is written based on opinions
of what the author sees and feels. Then, report text is written scientifically based
