Hasan (2000) stated that the difficulty encountered by many learners of English as a foreign language was a lack of understanding of English pronunciation pronounced at a normal speed through listening material. On reading skills, Rahmawati (2011) argued that the problem faced for reading text understanding lies in the lack of knowledge about reading material and the ignorance of how to link ideas between sentences one with the other. Writing skills are difficult because they require complex and systematic thinking processes, but they need to be mastered by English learners.
