It enables us to acquire new knowledge, and broaden our perspectives, Grabe & Stoller (2013) contend that reading is a complex and dynamic process that involves considering, understanding, translating, analyzing, and discovering knowledge. Students often encounter multiple challenges when learning reading comprehension, such as limited vocabulary, inadequate time to comprehend the material, and disinterest in the teaching methods employed by educators, so this study aimed to investigate whether the use of a webtoon application as a medium has a significant effect on the achievement scores of second-grade students in literal reading comprehension. The research method used in this study is quantitative, and the researcher conducted a quasiexperimental study to investigate the impact of using Webtoon media in the teaching process. The treatment provided to the experimental group, which received instruction with the use of Webtoon media, while the control group did not receive any special treatment. The results of the study indicated that there was a noticeable difference in the pre-test and post-test scores, with an increase in the mean score from 60.46 to 73.86.

Adopting this new curriculum will affect the provision of teaching and learning activities. This paper attempts to justify whether the use of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) would fit within the current English curriculum. A comprehensive review of a literature was conducted to identify barriers and facilitators for the implementation of CLIL in higher education settings. Results of the literature review were then used to evaluate the potential strengths and limitations of the recently renewed curriculum when implemented at the Faculty of Medicine. Availing of curriculum and learning materials has the potential to sustain CLIL implementation in the Faculty of Medicine. However, factors that may impinge the successful implementation include: lecturers' language, content pedagogical competences and the need to employ differentiated instructional modules. An ongoing professional development for lecturers prior to curriculum implementation could address these limitations.

Teaching English using an ESP approach seems preferable in current ELT due to its efficiency and effectiveness in imparting learning. However, designing ELT using the ESP approach is not an easy job.

The ultimate goal of teaching “MKDK” English at non-English departments is to prepare students to be able to understand textbooks written in English on their own field. To be able to do this, students must have various reading skills such as note-taking, evaluating, memorizing (retaining) information, summarizing, and other reading skills needed in academic contexts. The teaching and leaning process should, therefore, be directed to the proficiency of such skills. Through English subject the students are expected to be able to improve “learning how-to-learn” skills. It is necessary, then, to review the current practices of teaching reading at non-English departments. Have the materials and classroom activities represented the expectation of reading in academic contexts? Have the materials and classroom activities managed to improve students’ language skills and impart learning how-to-learn skills? This paper provides suggestion to redesign/re-orientate the materials and class activities to achieve both improvement of language skills and skills in learning-how-to-learn.

Key words: teaching reading, academic reading, learning how-to-learn

For students of Tourism Department, the target needs of leaning English have been well-defined since they have had definite job markets. Thus, in designing curriculum for this target audience, these target needs must further be translated into descriptions of competencies needed in the tourism area so that the students are capable of performing the language needed in the target situation. This article will bring about the application of competency-based approach in designing second language syllabus/curriculum. There are two points to be discussed: (1) general descriptions of competency-based approach in designing second/foreign language curriculum; and (2) a proposal in establishing English competencies in ESP contexts with reference to English competencies needed by students of Tourism Department (University of Mataram)
