        abstract = {The module was written for conversational practice for first semester students of Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) Uhamka. In the first semester, students have to take a General English course. However, the course focuses more on communication skills and writing simple paragraphs. Grammar points are explained separately using a deductive approach, but students get enough practice by doing varied activities. The grammar will then be integrated into speaking, writing, and reading short articles.
There is no grammar explanation in this module. The explanation is given separately; for example, after discussing Simple Present Tense, students will make conversations in Unit 1. Students also have to write a simple paragraph about daily activities as a student. The same procedure is applied when discussing prepositions. Students will do activities in Unit 2, giving directions. Moreover, they also have to write a paragraph using the appropriate prepositions. After discussing adjectives, students do adequate exercises related to adjectives, such as how to describe a person's appearance and personality traits in unit 4. They also write a paragraph about people's physical appearance and personality traits close to them, such as parents, friends, and favorite celebrities.
It is expected that the existence of this conversation training module can make students eager to use English actively.}
