PREFACE

T
his module aims to develop the reading receptive and productive
skills prescribed for General English Course (KBI 101) for
University of Lampung students under “the new English syllabus”
resulted from the joint project between the Indonesian International
Education Foundation (IIEF) and the Program Pengembangan Penggunaan
Bahasa Ilmiah (PPBI) of University of Lampung. The new syllabus itself is
an effort to solve the problems faced by English lecturers who have not had
so far a standard textbook to use in which reading and productive (mainly
restating) skills are designed as integrated objectives of the course. It is,
therefore, designed to enable the students to learn and practice the reading
skills by considering linguistic skills (vocabulary and grammar) and
content or topics that will help them grow into an articulate, intellectual
and productive Indonesian citizen.
Reading selections in this module are derived from various sources
written by foreign authors (authentic materials) and have relations with the
students’ need in science. As the students take up the lessons in this book,
they will discover the value of English as an important medium for gaining
access to information and academic materials that can enhance the quality
of their studies and future careers. They, hopefully, will find that English
will facilitate their eventual participation in the world of science and
technology.

This module is organized into 15 units, each consisting of four types

of activities. Each unit aims to teach the students competencies in mainly
reading and, to some extent, in reproduction. However, the inclusion of
Contextual Grammar and Vocabulary activities is not only to lead the
students to a better understanding and awareness of their roles in
understanding a text but also is based on a class-action research about
students’ common problems in reading a text.
