give feedback to the students. The feedback can be both general and personal. It can be given in the meetings in the classroom of Book Report Course. In the
meetings, the lecturers can give motivation and suggestions for the students. By giving the feedback in the classrooms, the students also can learn from their

It is suggested for the students to be more active in Book Report Course. It means that the students should do some efforts to solve the problems in reading,
to make the written reports, or do oral examinations. To solve the reading problems especially related to vocabulary and grammar, the students should read a
lot of English books because the more they read, the more the students can expand
75 the vocabulary and understand grammar. For the students who are not interested
in reading, they can choose the novels or books which are simple and appropriate to the ability or the topic that they are interested in. The personal problem which
is related to managing reading time, the students should make priority of the important assignments so that they can finish each assignment on time. The
suggestion also gives for the students to consult the meaning of vocabulary in the dictionary. In making the written reports, the students should avoid plagiarism
because the important thing is not the result but the process of learning in Book Report Course. It is the same as the oral examinations. The oral examinations are
the chance for the first semester students to practice speaking in English. It is therefore needed for the students to practice and discuss with their friends so that
in oral examinations they can speak fluently.
