The use of form is enormously extensive in English and possibly, poses some conceptual or grammatical difficulties for English teachers and learners. On the one hand, morpheme is attached to a verbal base resulting in a verbal form and function. Such form and function can be assumed to be the default case. On the other hand. morpheme can also be attached to a verbal base, but brings about adjectival and nominal functions. ln relation to such usages of . Nida (1949) suggests that should simply be treated as a single morpheme with various usages. As a matter of fact, despite being used as a noun or adjective, forms still keep their verbal force. The case of forms uncovers the point where word-class indeterminacy exists and therefore they are prevailingly regarded as trans categorial, a sort of 'hybrid category' and'seem to be core members of more than one category, simultaneously (Alexiadou 2013; Malouf 1996). This paper has trvo objectives: firstly, to elaborate the idiosyncrasies of forms which are certainly valuable for English teaching and learning and, secondly. to examine the distributions of forms in a small English narrative corpus by employing a quantitative analysis.

Listening is one of the skills that should be mastered by any language learners. It usually defines as the ability to identify and understand what others are saying or talking about. However, it is not an easy task. It requires understanding a speaker's accent or pronunciation, his grammar and his vocabulary, and grasping his meaning. Therefore, in teaching listening, teachers need to pay attention on how to help the learner to master this skill. In fact, the way of teaching listening seems to be boring and stressful.

This paper aims at sharing the way of teaching listening by using group work or collaborative activities. Listening activities should be challenging and interactive. It must be taught integrated. These activities are aimed at encouraging and facilitating students to take advantage of collaborative activity in order to practice listening skills and communicate and negotiate with others.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the advantages of students’ intellectual diary (ID) to overcome the major problems of the inadequate competencies of the students in the learning process. For at least 2 years teaches literature subjects in English Education Study Program (EESP), the writer found that most of the students tend to be passive in the classroom. It caused by their lack of motivation to read the material based on the topic discussion, in the meantime the syllabus and teaching material already given to the students. Consequently, as a compulsory, all students should read the teaching material as proved by their ID in handwriting form based on the topic of discussion. The writer adapts this method based on the experiences when studied in UGM. This method increases students’ readiness toward subject in the teaching process. The formulations of the ID become a source of information to the students. Thus, students can give their arguments related to the topic because they already studied earlier rather than waiting what will explained by the lecturer. Furthermore, they also could learn individually the material and if they found difficulties they will discuss it in the teaching process. As consequences, it will bring a good impact to the increases of the student language awareness.
