Abstract

Ideologies are contested through discourses; thus, textbooks can be a fertile ground for implanting the prevalence of women's marginalization in society, or they can also be used for deconstructing the ideology. The present study aims to provide a general map of how English as a foreign language reflects gendered stereotypes. The study was library research that used the results of previous studies to answer the research questions. Using George's method, the study chose thirty articles published in 2010 - 2021, then critically reviewed. The critical reading was continued with mapping the results of the studies, and their arguments on gender stereotypes included English as Foreign Language textbooks worldwide. The review revealed that there had been prevalent marginalization of women in English textbooks reflected through the depiction of women as less dominant, inferior than men, primarily domestic, generally weak, powerless, voiceless, and passive. Such male prevalence was also found in Indonesian EFL textbooks. Many previous studies admit that male prevalence and women marginalization in EFL textbooks reflect reality in society. Nevertheless, the present study takes the standpoint that calls for the utilization of textbooks to deconstruct gendered binary oppositions that marginalize women by deliberately designing textbooks that impart awareness about gender equity.

Abstract

Although efforts have been made to reduce gender bias in textbooks, Indonesian English textbooks still tend to reproduce gender-biased oppositions that support patriarchal values. This study aims to analyze how patriarchal values are deconstructed in conversational texts. The research subject was the Indonesian English textbook for the eleventh grade published by the Ministry of Education in 2017, which contains eight chapters and twenty-one conversations. Through McKee's model of textual analysis, this study reveals that the textbook shows a balanced frequency between male and female characters in giving opinions and asking for decisions, with females slightly dominating decision-making. Female characters asked for suggestions more frequently, while males slightly dominated in giving suggestions and more significantly in giving answers. Agreement was more common among females, while males dominated disagreement. While female characters were positioned as decision-makers, this was undermined by the high frequency of male disagreement. The study reveals ambivalence in the deconstruction of male dominance, indicating that stronger efforts are needed to promote gender equality through textbook content.
