as follows: (1) the target learner was able to introduce herself in a simple way, such as
My name is Mrs. Sri, and I am a staff in bus station, (2) the target learner was
able to give directions in form of word by word or phrase by phrase, hence she was
not able to explain it in a complete sentence, (3) frequently, the target learner spoke
with many hesitations, and (4) the target learner had a very limited vocabulary
mastery that related to the asking and giving directions. As a result, we categorized
the target learners entry level is band 2 (basic-high).

improvements in vocabulary mastery, pronunciation and making dialogues. Some of
improvement were as follows: (1) the target learner was able to memorize many
