Abstract

This study aims to analyze English textbooks for junior high school students based on curriculum relevance and language skill development. The study employed a qualitative approach using library research. Data were obtained from various scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025, discussing English textbook analysis, curriculum suitability, and the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Data collection was conducted through a literature search in academic databases, then analyzed using content analysis techniques through the stages of identification, classification, evaluation, and synthesis of research findings. The results indicate that, in general, junior high school English textbooks align with the requirements of the applicable curriculum. The material presented encompasses contextual themes, clear learning objectives, and the integration of character values ​​and language competencies. Textbooks also accommodate the four language skills, although their distribution is not balanced. Reading and writing skills receive a more dominant portion than listening and speaking skills. Furthermore, it was found that activities that encourage critical thinking, creativity, and project-based learning are still limited. This study concludes that junior high school English textbooks are well-relevant to the curriculum, but still require further development to optimally balance language skills and 21st-century competencies. The research findings are expected to serve as evaluation material for teachers, textbook authors, and curriculum developers in improving the quality of English teaching materials.

Abstract

A film poster is a visual communication medium that not only functions as a promotional tool, but also as a sign system capable of constructing meaning, shaping perceptions, and directing audience expectations towards the film's content. This study aims to analyze the meaning contained in the Abadi Nan Jaya film poster using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory which includes representation, objects, interpretants, and the classification of signs in the form of icons, indexes, and symbols. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a semiotic analysis method. The primary data is the official Abadi Nan Jaya film poster which is analyzed based on visual elements such as color, typography, character expressions, image composition, and cultural background. The results show that the poster is effective in constructing a representation of the post-plague world through the dominance of dark colors, zombie visuals, and the characters' expressions of fear. In addition to presenting a horror film image, the poster also contains a deeper meaning about the misuse of traditional knowledge, human ambition for immortality, and the collapse of the social order due to the exploitation of culture and scientific knowledge. The use of a village background and traditional herbs strengthens the local Indonesian identity, thus distinguishing this film from zombie films in general. Thus, the Abadi Nan Jaya poster not only functions as a promotional medium, but also as a cultural communication medium that conveys social criticism through a visual sign system. The findings of this study are expected to enrich semiotic studies in the field of visual communication and Indonesian film.
