Abstract

This study aimed to develop materials engineering students could use to teach themselves Reading and Writing skills. Instructional materials are designed to assist teachers and students in fulfilling their responsibilities. The primary objective of this study is to develop self-instructional materials for engineering students to improve their reading and writing skills. Self-study materials rely on various means and modes of communication to meet the needs of students. Instructional materials are different ways for teachers to give information to students more straightforwardly and memorably. Instructional materials are how a teacher can explain a concept to help students understand it better while teaching and learning.
