BalasHapusthank you Bayu for giving response in my writing, I hope you can get new knowledge from my writing even if it's not the perfect writing :)
HapusI like the organization of your blog, yo deliver the importance of CDA in developing students language skill. But, in my opinion, is better for you to explain what kind of step of CDA itself (not only the classroom activities but also the influence od CDA), and how that situation or classroom activities can be called as CDA. Because, as far as I know there are many experts in this field such as Wodak, Kress, Van Leeuwen, Fairclough, and etc (if I am not misspelled). And in what aspect of discourse in this journal is, written or spoken? and how this CDA can improve language skill, especially in what skill? But overall, I like your writing. But I think you've forgotten about putting your opinion of this journal topic in your future classroom.
BalasHapusI hope you can also pass by in my blog :)
thank you Agustina for your suggestion. I'll do some revision on my writing and also thank you for sharing the experts of CDA to me, since I am lack of knowledge related CDA :)

Thanks for your nice writing, it make me understand a bit of the concept ( Because I've never read abt it before ).
