Dear mam,

Assalamualaikum, wr, wb.

Hi mam Dewi, how is it going? It is an honourable for me to meet you as my lecturer. Even just using virtual platform, I am so excited to wait you in web
meeting.
You taught me the course English for Personal Communication.
As an educator, Mam Dewi is a competent lecturer, especially when you said that you had studied in Australia and Singapore for about 5 years.
Your words inspired me that I need to be even more enthusiastic in learning.
For me, the way of your explaining the lesson is also very easy to understand, enjoyable and humorous.

I hope I can meet Mam Dewi someday and of course I will bring Riau's specialty coffee ^_^.
Thank you for all the knowledge that you have given, hopefully it will be a reward from Allah and become a charity for you.
I hope you will always be healthy and create valuable scientific work for Indonesian education.

With gratitude,

Mestika Zuriati, S.Pd

Summary of English for Public
Communication
Teaching writing skill for students is so challenging. There are many obstacles why our students are difficult to write.
One of them is because English is not their language, English is their foreign language, when they write, they also
have to know well about the culture of English. This is lack point of their writing skill. And this is eaching short
functional texts for our students can increase their creativity, their critical thinking, and develop imagination. By
using creative and innovative method also learning model, I hope I can teach these materials with full of
understanding.
Types of short Functional Texts learned in the module are:

1. Personal letter
Consists of definition, general structures and examples.
2. Formal Invitation
Consist of format of letter, definition, types of invitation and generic structure and examples.
3. Announcement
Consists of the definition, language features, social function and generic structures and examples.
4. Advertisement

examples.

The advantages of learning the module are:

5. Increasing my skills in English for personal communication, personal letter in written contexts, invitation,
announcement, and advertisement for both spoken and written contexts. Increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness the process of learning in schools, especially the material on personal letters, invitations,
announcements and advertisements.
6. Providing practice and evaluation for me as a tool so that I can measure self-efficacy and errors related to
module 2 material. The module can guide me in mastering the material provided.
7. Achieving successful learning in the classroom through regular steps, especially in short functional texts.
8. Obtaining a more solid foundation for dealing with the next learning material (professional module).
This module is arranged neatly and completely because it is accompanied by examples in the form of materials
and videos, making the students are easier to learn.
