The necessity of English as one of the foreign languages studied in Indonesian schools, brings this book forward.

The content of the book is integrated in the four language skills, i.e. listening, speaking, reading and writing. It aims to build your language, discourse, sociocultural and strategic competence. All the components help you understand English and use it as the media of communication.
This book examines the concepts of schema, register, and discourse genre. It considers what corpus descriptions of text tell us about language and examines how speakers take turns and negotiate meaning.
The purpose of this book is to explore "inner speech" and its connections to second language (L2) learning. Inner speech, or silent self-directed speaking, enables the faculty to "think" words and is the main instrument for verbal thought. Inner speech originates in first language (L1) social discourse and develops in childhood through a process of internalization.
New technologies are constantly transforming traditional notions of language use and literacy in online communication environments. While previous research has provided a foundation for understanding the use of new technologies in instructed second language environments, few studies have investigated new literacies and electronic discourse beyond the classroom setting. This volume seeks to address this gap by providing corpus-based and empirical studies of electronic discourse analyzing social and linguistic variation as well as communicative practices in chat, discussion forums, blogs, and podcasts. Several chapters also examine the assessment and integration of new literacies.
