5. Summarization Practice
Exercise: Read a chapter from a book or an article and write a summary that
includes the main points and key details. Aim to condense the information into a
concise format.
Objective: To develop skills in summarizing and condensing large amounts of
information.
Answer
Improving reading ability is a fundamental skill that needs to be developed
continuously. Based on the text read, reading ability is not only about recognizing
letters and words, but also includes a deep understanding of meaning and context.
This can be seen from the definition of literacy conveyed by UNESCO and the
National Institute for Literacy, where reading is part of a broader skill. Reading
ability is becoming increasingly important in the context of Indonesian education,
especially after the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum which places
special emphasis on literacy and numeracy. This is due to Indonesia's still low
achievement in the PISA international assessment, where the literacy ability of
Indonesian students only reached a score of 371 and was in 74th position. In an
effort to improve reading ability, it is necessary to understand that reading is a
complex process that involves the ability to translate language symbols into
meaningful understanding. This skill is not only important in an academic context,
but is also very necessary in everyday life, work, and society. Thus, improving
reading ability is the main focus in the development of education in Indonesia,
which is expected to help improve the quality of human resources as a whole.

2. Writing the Result of Reflecting. Write the result of your self- reflection about things
you studied in this chapter and the assignment given.
Answer
The process of designing a syllabus and lesson plan for an EFL literacy course
has given me a deeper understanding of the importance of careful planning in the
learning process. I realized that each stage, from selecting materials, designing
activities, to assessment, is interrelated and has a significant impact on the success of
student learning.
Through this assignment, I learned that in designing a syllabus, it is not enough
to just compile a general list of materials. It is important to consider in detail the
learning objectives to be achieved, materials that are relevant to the students' ability
levels, and the most effective learning methods. In addition, I also understand the
importance of integrating various language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and
listening) in each learning activity.
In designing a lesson plan, I learned that a variety of activities is very important
to maintain student interest. By combining individual, group, and presentation
activities, students can be actively involved in the learning process and learn from each
other. In addition, I also realized the importance of providing constructive feedback to
students so that they can continue to improve themselves.

EVALUATION CHAPTER 8
1. Digital Resource Navigation
Description: This exercise helps users become familiar with navigating digital library
systems and discovering resources effectively.
Exercise:
Library Tour: Conduct a virtual or in-person tour of the digital library, highlighting key
features such as search tools, digital collections, and access points for e-books, journals,
and databases.
Search Challenge: Give participants a list of research topics or questions and have them
use the digital library's search functionalities to locate
relevant resources. Evaluate their ability to use advanced search features,
filters, and tags.
ANSWER:
• Author credibility: Is the author an expert in the field? Are their qualifications and
affiliations clear?
• Publication date: Is the resource current or relevant for the research topic?
• Relevance to the research topic: Does the resource provide pertinent information to
the subject being researched?
• Publisher or platform: Is the resource published by a reputable organization or
academic publisher?
Participants will apply these criteria to assess the quality and usefulness of each
resource, taking note of any potential biases or limitations.
Presentation: Once the collections are developed, participants will present their digital
collections to the group, explaining their selection criteria, the organization of the
resources, and how the materials support their research topic. This will encourage
participants to reflect on the scope of their collection, the quality of their selections, and
the overall thematic cohesion.
Evaluation: This exercise assesses the ability to curate, categorize, and annotate digital
resources in a meaningful way and to present a well-organized collection.
• Title
• Author(s)
• Publication Date
• Publisher/Journal
• Keywords/Subject Categories
• Resource Type (article, book, video, etc.)
Participants will also create short descriptions or abstracts to summarize the content of
each resource.
Cataloging Practice: Participants will then use a digital cataloging tool (such as an
institutional repository system or library software like Koha or DSpace) to practice
entering metadata for each resource. This exercise will teach them how to organize
resources systematically and understand metadata standards and best practices in digital
libraries.
Tool Exploration: In this exercise, participants will explore and use various tools
offered by the digital library system, such as citation generators, reference management
software (e.g., Zotero, EndNote), and research guides. Tasks might include:
Tool Integration: Participants will integrate these tools into their own research process,
demonstrating how they use reference management software to organize sources,
generate citations, and maintain accurate bibliographies. They might also demonstrate
how they create folders for managing different research projects and how to save and
share resources.
Evaluation: This exercise evaluates participants' ability to use digital library tools
effectively for citation management, research organization, and resource discovery.
Group Research: Participants will be divided into small groups and given a research
project. For example, each group might investigate the effects of climate change on
global agricultural practices. Using digital library resources, the group will gather
relevant data, analyze the material, and synthesize their findings into a collaborative
report or presentation.
Peer Review: After completing their research project, groups will exchange their work
with another group for peer review. The review should focus on how effectively the
digital library resources were used, the relevance of the information gathered, and the
quality of the research synthesis. Each group will provide constructive feedback on the
organization and use of digital resources.
