Abstract

Countless studies have examined the vital role of ELT textbooks as learning sources, particularly in terms of intercultural, multicultural, and trans-cultural analysis. Yet, none of them specifically talked about religious values as the research focus. Hence, this study aimed at construing religious values represented in a selected chapter of an Indonesian ELT textbook. Descriptive problem-driven content analysis was used as the research design, whilst the research data were collected through document analysis. Later, to analyze the data, the research utilized Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) (O’Halloran, 2008c) as the framework with a focus on representational meaning and transitivity analysis for each visual and textual data. The findings showed that two data modes represent religiosity, namely visual and verbal data. In visual, religious values (artifacts, beliefs, and behaviors) are represented by the classificational process while in verbal data; they are represented by the material and relational processes. Four of Indonesia's large recognized religious communities were represented namely Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Yet, there is no single datum that figures Islamic values, whereas, the Islamic community is the largest in the country and even in the world. Hence, this implication suggests that stakeholders (particularly textbook authors) should pay attention to the issue of how to fairly present the five legalized communities' values existing in Indonesia. Therefore, because Indonesia has varied its communities, ethnicities, and backgrounds, ELT textbooks should fairly embody the diversities more over the religious aspects which are the core competence to gain.

Abstract

This study analyses how news coverage of Nadiem Makarim’s public statement on the Merdeka Belajar policy in Tempo is constructed through Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional model. The objective is to reveal how ideology and power relations are communicated in this discourse. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as its methodological framework, data were collected with document analysis of a Tempo online article Bowen (2009) and examined through Fairclough’s three dimensions that include description (text analysis), interpretation (processing analysis), and explanation (social analysis). Findings show that Nadiem’s statement is represented as an urgency demanding government action that framed across all three CDA stages. At description level, lexical choices, nominalization, passivization, and transitivity foreground ideological framing and underscore governmental leadership in promoting transformative education. At interpretation level, media credibility is negotiated through the selection of news sources and a balance between subjective and objective reporting. At the explanation level, socio-cultural and political contexts, including the Minister’s self-image, ideological conflicts between progressive and conservative group, hierarchical power relation, and enduring traditional cultural values that shape and legitimize the policy discourse. Implications of this study highlight the pivotal role of language in building public trust and legitimizing transformative education reforms. This research offers valuable insights for policy makers, educators, and future CDA studies in educational contexts.
