Journal Analysis II

Welcome back to my blog guys!

Here I would like to share about what is the author’s main argument and the author reasons for his/her main argument from journal I selected, the titled of the journal is Teaching Report Writing Skills through Communicative Activities.

The first questions is “what is the author’s main argument?”

            In this journal, the authors describe the skills of report writing and explain how to design communicative activities to teach certain skills. The authors suggest methodologies and techniques that meet the needs and interests of teachers who teach technical subjects such as Report Writing Skills. This journal also emphasizes the types of problems students face when learning to write technical form writing reports. In scientific report writing, it is natural for them to find difficulties and make similar mistakes. Like grammatical errors, writing styles are wrong because there is no exposure and experience writing reports or technical documents before. Well, in this journal the author explains how to teach Report Writing Skills using Communicative Activities that are not expensive to improve students' writing skills in writing professional reports.

The second questions is ”explain the author reasons for his/her main argument?”

The author reasons wrote this journal is to prove that communicative activities are very helpful in teaching technical writing like report writing skills. This approach creates interest in the subject for the students. They become more creative in writing. The overall performance is better when students are taught with the help of communicative activities. The number of failure cases in the subject contracts to zero. The classroom activities in pairs/groups with the help of audio/visual aids and other facilities like language laboratory, library and internet makes students more independent and efficient in writing. The students have thorough knowledge of the report writing procedure and its various components. They are able to write both short and long reports individually. They can compose other documents related to report writing skills such as memorandum, letter, brochure, office notes and email quite efficiently too.

That’s enough from me, thank you for reading guys!
