Abstract

The urge of gender equality had been going on for several decades and even though people were aware of it yet there was no significant result toward the effort. Not to neglect all the intended purposes of many studies previously, still somehow the significant differences were less shown in the practice. In order to identify such matter, hence the study was conducted. The visual illustrations in textbook were not only as the aesthetic aspect of one but also to represent matters that could easily be understood better by visualization. The gender representation was analyzed by its numbers of appearances, ratio and also the settings of each gender was situated in the illustrations. By the end of the study, it could be stated that the lack of female representation in appearance and ratio issue was still existing in the textbook. However, in most of the illustrations, both of the genders were situated in social settings in general though there were several in domestic ones. The further study was needed in order to analyze the other elements of the textbook.

Abstract

This research studied student motivation in light of Dörnyei’s L2 Motivational Self System theory. There are three motivational dimensions: Ideal-L2 Self, Ought-to L2 Self, and Language Learning Experience in this theory. According to the idea, this research studied whether individual variables (gender and school accreditations) influence students’ motivation in private senior high schools. This study used a quantitative survey research methodology. This survey included second-grade pupils from seventeen private high schools in Samarinda. 193 students were chosen as the sample using random cluster selection and random individual sampling. This research used the English Learner Questionnaire (ELQ) developed by Dörnyei and Taguchi. This study used SPSS 25 of descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the data. The data revealed that private high school students in Samarinda were highly motivated (M = 4.27) to study the English language. In addition, a statistical analysis revealed female pupils demonstrated greater motivation than male classmates. In addition, the findings for the relationship between school accreditations and student motivation revealed that school accreditations do not predict learners’ motivation. Based on the L2 Motivational Self System, pupils at private senior high schools in Samarinda were highly motivated. Their motivation was often defined by gender, but not by educational attainment.
