Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to evaluate the presentation of vocabulary and grammar in two English textbooks designed for tenth-grade senior high school students, as these components play a fundamental role in language learning. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the study analyzed textbooks published by Erlangga and the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. The materials and instructions in each unit were examined using an evaluation checklist synthesized from established textbook evaluation frameworks proposed by several experts. The analysis focused on how vocabulary and grammar were presented, sequenced, and recycled throughout the textbooks. The findings revealed that Bahasa Inggris obtained a higher overall score than Pathway to English. However, Pathway to English performed better in several grammar-related criteria, particularly in providing clearer grammar explanations and placing greater emphasis on language form. The results indicate that both textbooks possess distinct strengths and weaknesses in vocabulary and grammar presentation. The study provides pedagogical insights for teachers in adapting instructional materials and for textbook authors in improving future textbook development.  Keywords: textbook evaluation, vocabulary presentation, grammar presentation, English textbooks, comparative evaluation

Abstract

The transition from Kurikulum 2013 to the Merdeka Curriculum has inevitably required changes in certain aspects of English language teaching and learning, including textbook use. Although new versions of English textbooks have been published to meet the needs of the new curriculum, important questions arise regarding the continued use and relevance of older English textbooks designed under 2013 Curriculum. This study aims to evaluate whether Pathway to English and Bahasa Inggris for Grade X Curriculum 2013 based-textbooks, can still contribute as learning resources within the Merdeka Curriculum context, particularly in terms of their tasks and activities. Developed from an earlier investigation conducted in 2019, this study reinterprets the earlier textbook evaluation findings to assess their alignment with the dimensions of Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study employed a three-step reinterpretative procedure that included reframing the criteria, reinterpreting the 2019 findings in relation to the Merdeka Curriculum, and assigning new scores with supporting descriptions. The reinterpretation focused on five dimensions of Profil Pelajar Pancasila: Independence (mandiri), creative (kreatif), collaboration (gotong royong), and global citizenship (berkebinekaan global). Findings indicate that both Pathway to English and English Subject for Grade 10 can still support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, although requiring certain adaptations and supplementation
