on the tour to the learning resource center of TDMU One of the most memorable days that had such a strong impression on me is my first trip with my classmates when I was 18 years old After being announced that we would go on a trip to Learning Resource Center, all of us got super excited as it was the first time we had a long journey together And that unforgettable day finally came This was also the first time I had the chance to learn about sourcing by using the online library and going to the physical library, which excited me greatly The teacher first gave our class a tour of the school library before telling them to go to the learning resource center's online link They gave me advice on how to borrow and return books as well as how to research documents using a variety of sources The practice of  looking up documents online and finding books to check out from the library was my last opportunity The book scanner at the library's entrance really impressed me; if you  borrow a book without going through the check-in desk, the machine will sound an alarm as you leave Thanks to that class and the school's resource center, I now know how to look up documents for later learning I believe this is a good first-year  experience that we should all partake in   Chapter LANGUAGE SKILLS 2.1 Listening skill 2.1.1 Definitions of listening Skill There are a lot of different definitions of listening provided: According to Littlewood (1981), listening demands active involvement from the hearer In order to construct the message that the speaker intends, the hearer must actively contribute knowledge from both linguistic and nonlinguistic sources Only by applying the knowledge of the language, can the hearer divide the continuous stream of sound into meaningful units and only by comparing these units with the shared knowledge between himself and speaker, can the hearer interpret their meaning Mary Underwood (1989:1) gives that “listening is the activity of paying attention to and trying to get meaning from something we hear so that the listener must recognize and interpret the other factors which are used to convey the messages” Field (1998:38), listening is “an invisible mental process, making it difficult to describe Listeners must discriminate between sounds, understand vocabulary and grammatical structures, interpret stress and intention, retain and interpret this within the intermediate as well as the lager socio-cultural context of the utterance Rost (2002) defines listening as a process of receiving what the speaker actually says, constructing and representing meaning, negotiating meaning with the speaker  and responding, and creating meaning through involvement, imagination and empathy In short, listening is a complex and active process of interpretation in which listeners match what they hear with what they already know to understand the spoken language 2.1.2 Personal strategies to develop listening skill Listening in general: - Timetable regular practice: For example, 15 minutes at lunch, 15 minutes  before breakfast – aim for a manageable amount of time which you can dedicate every day to listening to something in English - Expand your range: Everything helps, but you are more likely to be motivated when you are listening to something that interests you, something you enjoy If  you like watching films, then that’s fine, but remember in a test you won’t see the person who is speaking so it’s also good practice to add noninteractive listenings to your practice Podcasts, radio stations (online), and international news websites often have short audio news items Pick out stories that interest you! - Practise in chunks: Targeted, focused practice can really help to stretch your  ability to understand main contexts, and can help you to learn new works and    become familiar with grammar structures and accents For example, listen to a minute chunk of a podcast - then check understanding and continue listening to the next minutes, and so on Try this two or three times and then relax and listen to the rest of the text - Repeated practice: The more you listen, the more you will hear Go back to a text you have listened to before and practise listening for more ideas If you are using a book to study then these can be a great source for listening texts Keep a record of new words and phrases you pick out – this will help your reading, listening, speaking and writing Listening in exam: BEFORE LISTEN - Read and listen to instructions - this will give you information such as how many questions you need to answer in this section - Underline key words in the questions – usually nouns and verbs - Understanding each context will help you better understand the answer options Always read the question and think about the person talking and if they are giving an opinion or expressing an attitude or a feeling, for example - Read and listen carefully to the example given at the start of each part, this will show you how to answer the questions - Can you predict any answers? Name? Noun? Number? Place? Actual answer? WHILE LISTEN - Don’t worry if you don’t understand everything; understanding the main idea is usually enough - You hear the recordings twice, so don’t worry if you miss the answer the first time - Try to listen to the whole recording the first time to help you with the context, then check your answers the second time - When you move to the next question, forget the previous ones AFTER LISTEN - Don’t leave empty spaces on your answer sheet - Check everything on your answer sheet 2.2 Speaking skill 2.2.1 Definition of Speaking Skill Tarigan (1990:3-4) defines that speaking is a language skill that is developed in child life, which is produced by listening skill, and at that period speaking skill is learned Based on Competence Based Curriculum speaking is one of the four basic competences that the students should gain well It has an important role in communication Speaking can find in spoken cycle especially in Joint Construction of  Text stage (Departmen Pendidikan Nasional, 2004) In carrying out speaking, students   face some difficulties one of them is about language its self In fact, most of students get difficulties to speak even though they have a lot of vocabularies and have written them well The problems are afraid for students to make mistakes Speaking is the productive skill It could not be separated from listening When we speak we produce the text and it should be meaningful In the nature of  communication, we can find the speaker, the listener, the message and the feedback Speaking could not be separated from pronunciation as it encourages learners to learn the English sounds Harmer, (in Tarigan, 1990: 12) writes that when teaching speaking or producing skill, we can apply three major stages, those are: 1) Introducing new language 2) Practice 3) Communicative activity Speaking has been regarded as merely implementation and variation, outside the domain of language and linguistic proper Linguistic theory has mostly developed in abstraction from context of use and source of diversity Therefore, Clark and Clark  said that speaking is fundamentally an instrument act Speakers talk in order to have some effect on their listener It is the result of teaching learning process Students’ skill in conversation is core aspect in teaching speaking, it becomes vitally aspect in language teaching learning success if language function as a system for expression meaning and the successful in speaking is measured through someone ability to carry out a conversation in the language We confess that there are many proponent factors that influence teaching speaking success and there are many obstacle factors why it is not running well According to Ladouse (1991) speaking is described as the activity as the ability to express oneself in the situation, or the activity to report acts, or situation in precise words or the ability to converse or to express a sequence of ideas fluently Furthermore, Tarigan (1990: 8) said that “Berbicara adalah cara untuk  berkomunikasi yang berpengaruh hidup kita sehari-hari” It means that speaking as the way of communication influences our individual life strongly From the explanation above, the researcher concludes that speaking is what we say to what we see, feel and think When we feel something, we want someone can hear us So, in this process we can call it is an interaction between two sides When someone speak to other person, there will be a relationship The relationship itself is communication Furthermore, Wilson (1983:5) defines speaking as development of the relationship between speaker and listener In addition speaking determining which logical linguistic, psychological a physical rules should be applied in a given communicate situation” It means that the main objective of speaking is for  communication In order to express effectively, the speaker should know exactly what 10   You have to expand your vocabulary every day to get used to new words,  phrases, or sentences It is essential that you write down these words and understand their spelling and usage in a statement You can also grasp new words from TV shows, dictionaries, movies, songs, and other sources Always try to focus on learning phrases instead of only individual words as it will give you an understanding of the word in context THINK AND TALK IN ENGLISH While thinking, consciously think in English and try framing sentences in your  mind Think out loud in English and pay attention to your words It will help you use your native language less and improve your thought process in English making it easier to switch between languages Practice talking or reading out loud in front of a mirror, if you wish and observe your expressions, body language, and word formation while talking TRY NEW ACTIVITIES Register yourself for book-reading sessions, debates, or a library where you get an opportunity to converse with people in English When you speak to native English speakers in English, you help boost your confidence while also correcting any errors if  you make any Enjoy the sessions and learn from your mistakes LISTEN, REPEAT, LEARN While watching movies, TV shows, or listening to songs, pay attention to the sentence structure or new words Repeat what they say and notice the way it sounds when you speak Understand the meaning of the statement or lyrics and learn The movies use lots of word expressions, idioms, and vocabulary that you can use in your  daily conversations TRY TONGUE TWISTERS Tongue twisters are a fun way to learn words They are a series of words in a statement that are difficult to say quickly Practicing tongue twisters can help you to clearly pronounce the words and get better at it Try saying, “If Woodchuck could chuck wood” fast and notice the way you pronounce it SPEAK DAILY If you want to improve your speaking, make sure you have English conversations daily with your friends or family Try talking to your teachers and mentors and ask them for feedback Learn the most common sayings used in day-today conversations That way, you will be able to have simple conversations confidently as practice makes perfect ENROLL IN

2.3 Reading skill 2.3.1 Definition of reading skill Reading is the most important skill that the students must be mastered Reading is also very possible to acquire to be success in the school and the future life Because of reading can increase the student critical thinking, creative and spiritual Moreover, reading very emphasized skill in the English foreign learner context Reading can be regarded as a process that involves, decoding interpreting and comprehending written material Many experts define the meaning of reading in some ways because reading is a complex process This is the variety of definition According to Harmer “Reading is useful for language acquisition.‟‟1 Whereas according to Penny Mckay said that, “Reading is both process and product It means that the process or reading involves the interaction between the reader and the text The product of reading is reading comprehension or internal construction of meaning; there has been understanding.‟‟2 Then, according to William grabe stated that, “Reading is a strategic process in that a number of the skills and processes used in reading call for effort on the part of the reader to anticipate text information, select key information, organize and mentally summarize information, monitor comprehension, repair comprehension breakdowns ant match comprehension output to reader goals.‟‟3 Futher Jack C Richard, effective reading involves complex processes with specific context including proficiency level, age, motivation, and reading process such as content mastery, general language development or the improvement of specific reading skill Based on the definition of some expert above it can be concluded that reading is actually and activity dealing with words in a text The reader plan is focused on how the arrest the meaning or the word in the text Definition of Reading Comprehension According to Joanne Schudt Caldwell said that, “Reading comprehension is the process of simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning through interaction and involvement with written language.‟‟5 It means that reading comprehension is a achieved the readers‟ successfully extracts the useful knowledge 13   from a text and constructs it into a new understanding Comprehension is not a single totality process The reader activity including a variety of simultaneous process Reading comprehension is the process of building a connection between what the reader knows and what the reader doesn‟t knows, between the new or old Comprehension is constructing meaning from the printed material It is an interactive  process that requires sing prior knowledge in combination with the printed material Reading comprehension can improve by teaching students to assess their own comprehension activity test comprehension using a question It is the teacher ask a question about a students‟ reading It means that the readers are active in constructing meaning through the process of integrating this knowledge with what they already know and answer question Based on the definition above, the researcher can be concluded that reading comprehension is defined as process of extracting and constructing meaning through interaction between the reader and text and achieves when a reader successful extract the useful knowledge from a text and construct in into a new understanding Then, reading comprehension is in interactive process of finding meaning from the text 2.3.2. Personal strategies to develop reading skill There are a variety of ways you might improve your reading skills You might  practice speed reading to improve your fluency or make notes each time you encounter  unfamiliar vocabulary The following steps also help outline what you might to improve and further develop your reading skills Set aside time to read each day One of the most effective ways to build your skills is to practice Developing your reading skills will ultimately take practice, and you can set aside 10 to 15 minutes each day to read You can read news articles, fiction, magazine issues or any kind of  text, as long as you are taking the time to practice your reading skills Set reading goals You can set reading goals for yourself to help you develop a wider vocabulary, gain a deeper understanding of different texts and improve your ability to make connections between things you read and your own perspectives and ideas For example, you might set a goal to learn different vocabulary related to a central topic like business management, technology or another subject that interests you Then, you can find meanings to unfamiliar words that help build your vocabulary as you read As you build your vocabulary to higher-level words and phrases, you can increase the difficulty level of the texts you read Preview the texts you read Previewing and scanning over texts can be another step toward improving your  reading skills You can apply this strategy by previewing titles, captions, headlines and 14   other text features to get an idea of what you are reading about This can help you form central ideas about the text before you begin reading it Determine the purpose As you read through different texts, practice determining the purpose Think  about why various texts were written and what meanings or themes can be understood from a text Additionally, you might identify the purpose that you are reading for, such as to find information, follow instructions in a manual or to enjoy a story Knowing your purpose for reading a text can help you look for key ideas and details that support your purpose Apply key reading strategies As you read different texts, you can apply several key strategies to help you increase your comprehension For instance, when previewing a text, you might identify the text structure as informational, persuasive or instructional You might also determine key elements of different texts like the central themes, problems and solutions or comparative ideas presented in what you read Using strategies like identifying text features, determining the purpose and taking notes can all work to help you improve your reading skills Take notes while you read Another highly effective method for improving your reading skills is to take notes while you read For instance, you might take notes while reading a fiction novel to gain a deeper understanding of the author's choice of language, or you might write down new vocabulary while reading a science journal Effective note-taking can  prompt you to ask questions about and make connections to what you read Similarly, creating visual representations like charts, tables or diagrams can clarify themes and ideas and can help you form inferences from your reading Notetaking can be highly beneficial for comprehension exercises like summarizing, too Apply what you read by summarizing Summarizing what you read can also improve your reading skills Summarizing forces you to remember specific details and central topics about what you read in your  own words and through your own unique perspective You might try verbally summarizing what you read by sharing information with a friend or write a short summary to help you retain and comprehend what you read  As you develop your reading skills, your communication and overall ability to interact with others and perform in your career can develop as well 2.4 Writing Skill 2.4.1 Definition of writing skill 15   Writing skills are specifics abilities which help writers put their thoughts into words in a meaningful form and to mentally interact with the message There are some different definitions of writing explained by some different linguists Writing is an integral part of a larger activity where the focus is on something else such as language  practice, acting out or speaking ( Harmer, 2007:33 ) On the other hand, writing is the representation of the language in textual medium through the use of a set of sign or symbols Some people consider that writing is difficult Elbow (1981: 9) states that writing calls on the ability to create words and ideas out of yourself, but it also calls on the ability to criticize them in order to describe which ones to use Writing is the nature of the composing process of writing Written products are often the result of thinking, drafting and revising procedures that require specialized skills, skills that not every speaker develops naturally (Brown, 2003: 335) Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that the definition of writing is process of  inventing ideas, thinking about how to express them, and organizing them into statements and paragraphs which the purpose is used to communicate something with the other people indirectly, student gets effort to express mind through language in writing Writing has been widely regarded as a crucially essential skill in the teaching and learning of English as a Second Language (ESL) as it is a comprehensive skill that helps reinforce vocabulary, grammar, thinking, planning, editing, revising, and other  elements Writing also helps to improve all the other skills of listening, speaking and reading as they are all interrelated (Saed and Al-Omari in Yunus, and Chien 2016: 1) 2.4.2 Personal strategies to develop writing skill Following are some easy steps to help you improve your writing skills:    Know your audience before you begin Consider your audience to be your  compass – one that gives you a sense of direction when you begin to write Effective communication, whether verbal or written, requires you to connect with your audience, for which you need the perfect vocabulary, style, and tone Format your document wisely Use formatting to make every piece of writing clear and reader-friendly The utilization of different formatting features such as  bullets, headlines, numbering, and bold etc can ensure that the reader skims and scans through your text without much difficulty, thus, maximizing efficiency A  balance, however, must be maintained because if formatting is overdone, the visual elements can be distracting for the reader Focus on the content. Keeping your audience in mind, you should use simple language to create a content that is reader friendly and free of unnecessary  jargons Respecting the time of your recipients, you should make the document 16   as succinct as possible and ensure that it serves a clear purpose Also, try to avoid any ambiguity by drawing a clear distinction between facts and your   personal opinions Chapter PERSONAL OBJECTIVES AND DETAILED PLAN FOR THE COURSE 3.1 Personal
