Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of creativity as a 21st-century skill within the learning activities of the "Bahasa Inggris: Life Today" textbook for Grade XII. Based on Trilling and Fadel's (2009) framework, this study operationalizes creativity into three core indicators: Think Creatively (TC), Work Creatively with Others (WCO), and Implement Innovations (II). By employing a descriptive qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach, the research systematically examines the textbook's task instructions across four units. The findings reveal that the textbook actively integrates creativity through 35 occurrences. It demonstrates a strong emphasis on Think Creatively (15 occurrences) through brainstorming tasks, and Work Creatively with Others (19 occurrences) via collaborative writing cycles and peer feedback sessions. However, a significant limitation was identified in the Implement Innovations criterion, with only one task prompting students to publish their work for an authentic external audience. This study concludes that while the textbook serves as a valuable resource for developing students' ability to generate ideas and collaborate, it falls short of completing the full creative process. Future iterations would benefit significantly from redesigning tasks to include real-world publication components, ensuring students' creative outputs have genuine impact beyond the classroom.
