PREFACE

This book is written as an attempt to develop English teaching materials for ITB 

undergraduates. The emphasis of these materials is on improving students writing skills 

required for writing thesis or other essay relevant to their own specialization.

This teaching material consists of eleven sections, and is a result of research on 

students’ familiarity, difficulty, and interest to certain activity types, designed from the 

conventional types of exercises to the most innovative ones.
