can understand written information like data, forms and written business
transactions. It is also essential in order to understand the concept of all business
negotiations. Writing is also important in business specially in doing reports,
mails, forms and other written information about the business. Listening plays an

on with the business. Lastly, speaking. Speaking is very important in doing
business because it is your main weapon in encountering business partners. It is
 very important to successfully communicate verbally and speak confidently so

do you think it affects the learning of English Business Process? Explain, why?
 Yes, I definitely agree with the Learning modality that we are using this present
days which is modular or online learning because It is necessary and important to
follow health and safety protocols so that we keep ourselves away from harm and
danger. In contrast, flexible learning In my own opinion is not that effective for
students for it has many disadvantages specially in the learning process of
students. I also agree that It affects the learning of English Business process
because not all students take online learning seriously. I also believe that students
learn more through face to face learning platform.

strongly applied to yourself? And, why?

emails/reports because I like making visual presentations or typing information

people and it is one thing that I should develop.
