English Module

Abstract

This English module provides guides and resources to study academic English and it will be useful for university students during their study at the university. This module covers so-called ‘four language skills’. These skills are writing, reading, speaking, and listening. Each skill will be discussed simply, thus all students with or without preliminary knowledge of English, may learn something and are encouraged to learn English. The subject in this module is divided into four main chapters. Chapter II and III are about Writing and Reading and Chapter IV and V are about Speaking and Listening. In academic journey, both writing and reading skill are essential for students to master. Without these two skills, they will not grasp much knowledge during their study and not be able to optimize their learning experiences. For example, research and critical analysis needs good ability of reading and writing. Meanwhile, both Speaking and Listening are also important, since these two skills are influential in student’s success. By speaking and listening better, they can communicate and deliver their ideas better to other people.
