[Not] A Story in the 4th Semester (Materi Sastra Inggris Semester 4)

 Oh God, the time when I wrote this note was in the final week of the 4^th semester. It means that it was almost my last moment in my second year. I had a wonderful experience during this semester especially on handling lecturers. As usual, I would gladly share my experience during my time in the 4^th semester correlated with classes.

In this semester I took 11 subjects. Each of them has 2 credits (SKS), meaning that this semester I had 22 credits. There was something special in this semester. There were 4 options of classes that we can choose. We had to choose two of these options.

• English for Business or English for Tourism

            and

• Journalistic or Public Relation

*FYI, I chose English for Business and Journalistic class.

Meanwhile the other ninesubjects that I had to choose were:

1. English for Academic Purposes
2.  Integrated English
3. Translation English to Indonesia
4.  Syntax
5.  Philosophy
6. Introduction to Poetry
7.  Introduction to American Studies
8. Javanese Culture, and
9.  Introduction to Drama

What I want to share here is technically based on my arrogant opinion, so don’t feel being provoked on the details I wrote :p

Here we go:

• Journalistic

The lecturer was Mr. Agus DP. I like the way he delivered the material in my class. In journalistic class I learn many things linked to journalism such as how to present a news with journalistic style, writing opinion and letter to editor, and make real bulletin.

There were two classes, A and B. A class handled by Mr. Tri Wiratno and B class by Prof. Djatmika. We learned how to make a journal (simple research journal article).

• Integrated English

Mr. AgusD.Priyanto handled both class A and B for this subject. Integrated English is a subject which combines students’ skill on listening, reading and writing in one class.What I love from this class was the material. Especially critical reading. I browsed about critical reading in google. The result was many university students get this kind of material in their college or university. And I feel the international standard material given to us. Hohoholol.
