ASKING AND GIVING DIRECTION

English as a foreign language consists of four skills namely: writing, listening, reading, and
speaking. These four skills are usually considered as integrated system because they support each
other. To most people, speaking is the most difficult part in learning a foreign language because
it is usage sense involves the manifestation either of the phonological system or the grammatical
system of the language.

Learners are often hesitating to speak because they are afraid of pronouncing the words correctly
or they feel really shy about talking in front of the other because they don’t know how to speak
correctly. For example if they want to give some advice for their friend, they must know the rule
or the correct phrase for giving advice. It also works when we ask for or give expression of
direction, we must know how to ask for direction and give direction with correct way, word and
phrase. Asking and giving direction is really important. It always happens in our daily life whatever
it’s on purpose or spontaneous. So how we can express the asking and giving direction if we don’t
know the correct words and phrase of asking and giving direction. Because of that, the writer
makes a paper entitled “Asking and Giving Direction” to help the learner in expressing surprise
correctly.

Not everyone knows where they are going and may need help with directions from time to time.
Directions may be needed to get to a nearby town, or directions to the newest mall in town or
directions to the nearest rest room in a large building.

CONCLUSION

Asking direction means a conversation that we always use when we want to ask someone where
we are or where is the place that we want to go. Asking for directions is important, but it's also
easy to become confused when listening to someone giving directions. This is true even in your
own native language, so you can imagine how important it is to pay careful attention when
listening to someone provide directions in English.
