Analyze parts of the learning activities throughout Module 1

Learning Activity 1
The three personal letters show some differences, yet they also share some similarities in
terms of social function, text structure, and lexicon-grammatical feature.
In terms of social function, they are generally written to help people in building and maintaining
personal relationship. But more than that, each sender has his/her own purposes. The first
letter specifically sent to reconnect, ask and share news to an old friend who lives away. The
second is sent to make a new friendship relation and the third is to respond the previous letter
sent to her.
In terms of structure, each of them has greeting, body of the letter, and closing. It is just
different in some detail part of each structure.
In terms of lexico-grammatical feature, all of them use simple present to tell personal news,
past tenses to share past experiences. But they are different in some features. The first letter
has the date written on top, using casual greeting ‘Dear Fatima’ and ‘Love’ in the closing part
showing close relation. The second and the third letter has no date and the greeting is casual
but not as intimate as the first letter.
Learning Activity 2
Both printed and spoken announcements have the same general purpose, it is to share
information publicly about what has happened or will happen. The structure is not quite
different, with the heading at the beginning and followed by some details of the information.
The spoken announcement begins with greeting before coming to the point of announcement
while the printed forms usually have title on top of the announcement. Besides, in spoken
announcement, the introduction of the announcer is usually done at the beginning of the
announcement while the printed form is usually at the end of the announcement. Spoken
announcements also requires the speaker to pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation
to make the information clear while the printed one is focusing on the punctuation marks and
other requirements of a good writing.
Learning Activity 3
An analytical expository text should be well-planned and well-structured to be a good one. It
is structured respectively from thesis to introduce the case and writer’s position, Arguments to
support his position, and reiteration to strengthen the thesis. Through a good analytical
exposition, the writers are able to persuade the reader that the case he is talking about is
important by stating strong arguments to support his position. Arguments are well supported
with clear explanations and evidences.
Learning Activity 4
Hortatory exposition text, which aims to persuade the readers about what they should do and
should not be done, consists of thesis as the introduction of the idea/phenomenon that will be
discussed. Then followed by an argument which contains the opinions to make the idea
proposed by the writer trusted. And the last is recommendation which states the writer’s
suggestion to do or not doing something regarding things have been discussed.

activity one 1 task 1 made the students confuce because it asked the asignment but after
checking the task there is no detail instruction.
Learning Activity 2
The strength : The second learning activity explained about announcement
completely. It is also completed with spoken announcement.

structure of spoken and written announcement.
Learning Activity 3
The strength : the learning activity shows detail information about analytical
exposition. It’s explained detail and showed in video.how the analytical exposition is.

know how deep the student understand the task. I mean there is an analitycal exposition
and there are some question about the text.

3. Share your opinion about the contribution of this particular module to improve
your professional competencies.
My opinion about this particular model is the modul is very well.completed by many ways to
explain the material. Tthey are personal letter, annoucement, analitycal exposition and
Hortatory exposition. There are video, and some examples. It’s also consisted of many tasks
to check how deep the students understand about the texts. Next, the module will be better if
the text is submeted in one file for one activity. The student will be easy to send the task and
the lecturer will be easy to check it.
