INTRODUCTION
This module supplements learning materials for in-service

English teachers undertaking teacher profession training
or Pendidikan Profesi Guru (PPG). It specifically addresses
professional knowledge dimension for English language
teachers. The professional knowledge in this context is
perceived as teachers’ ability in regards to their English
proficiency as well as their knowledge of any related language
discourses. Learning materials in this module are adapted from
the National English Curriculum 2013 which cover functional
texts, short functional texts, and texts for interpersonal
and transactional purposes.
Modul 6, English at Work Place, discusses learning materials to

do with reports, procedures, application letters, formal
invitations, and any features of language (grammar) to realize
the transactional purposes. All of those features are framed in a
context of English at Work Place where you will learn some
authentic texts available in our surrounding. The materials are
presented and discussed extensively beyond textual
comprehension to a more critical and meaningful learning to
address language literacy. To develop participants’ language
literacy, the learning activities are developed into two main
sections namely meaning making task through getting to know
with the texts and Constructing the text. In getting to know with
the text section, you will be exposed to various examples of
texts within the same genre. This is meant to you to realize the
multimodality of the text, how their purpose might vary from
one text to another depending upon the text structure and the
language represented in the text. Once you are familiar with the
text, then you will be guided with some scaffold activities to
produce related text.
This module also presents assignments and formative tests. The

assignments aim to help participants to rehearse their learning
through analysis of texts and text productions to strengthen
anything they have learned in the learning activities. As for the
formative test, the questions posted will postulate participants
understanding to the genre; the social function, text structure,
and its language features. Further, the formative test also
elaborates the professional knowledge gauging in the Ujian Tulis
Nasional (UTN), so that the participants will benefit in preparing
the UTN for maximum results.

In this activity, you will also learn how to analyze some report texts
on jobs and construct report texts to do with jobs. First, you will be
exposed to some examples of report texts on jobs. From the
examples, you will analyze the elements that make up report texts on
jobs and see how different structures are employed to meet certain
purposes from the texts. You will also learn the language to describe
jobs and work places to help you construct the report texts. Finally,
you will gradually be guided to write report texts to do with jobs.
