Abstract

Textbooks are a kind of resource that is often used in the teaching and learning processes in schools by instructors and students. In EFL English textbooks, gender equality becomes a sign of gender discrimination. Consequently, this study assessed the extent to which both sexes were portrayed equally in junior high school English textbooks. The goal of this study is to ascertain how gender is portrayed in EFL textbooks in terms of family responsibilities and employment. To establish the gendering of their dialogues in EFL textbooks. To define the EFL textbook's qualities as determined by junior high schools. To answer the research question, the content analysis method is applied in this research. Each page of the EFL textbook was analyzed to find six aspects. These aspects consist of the six aspects analyzed in the textbook are pictures of women or men, women or men mentioned, roles, games, models, and names of men or boy. The result of this study indicate that in representing gender roles in the EFL textbook “When English Rings a Bell”, the researcher found the results of the overall analysis of the number of female roles more than male roles, namely for the pictures mentioned of gender names, occupation roles, roles domestic, predominantly female play, the roles models conveyed al lead to female characters as seen in the EFL English textbook “When English Rings A Bell”. After conducting the analysis, it can be concluded that the EFL English Textbook contains different levels of gender bias in the exercises in each chapter. Men are dominant in two categories, namely work, and activities. Meanwhile, women only have a dominant number in the visibility category. Overall, textbook authors have tried to promote gender equality in textbooks. Men are still dominant in textbooks. The textbooks in this study still contain issues of gender bias. So it is hoped that it can be revised so that gender representation in all textbooks will be represented equally

Abstract

The purposes of the study were: (1) To find out seventh semester English Department students’ reading habit. (2) To find out seventh semester English Department students’ vocabulary size. (3) To find out the relationship between students’ reading habit and vocabulary size. The design of this study was correlational research design using quantitative approach. The population of this study was the seventh semester English Department students of Mulawarman University in the Academic Year 2018/2019 with the total sample of 50 students. The instruments used for the study were Reading Habit Questionnaire and Vocabulary Size Test. The time for collecting the data was different for each instrument in order to avoid errors or undesired results. Then, the researcher correlated the data using Pearson Product Moment Correlation formula in SPSS. This study showed three findings. First, it was found that the mean score of the reading habit questionnaire was 49.7, meaning that the students’ reading habit was classified as moderate. Second, it was found that the mean score of the vocabulary size test was 7968, meaning that the students’ vocabulary size fell in the category of Mid-Frequency level. Third, after analyzing the data using Pearson Product Moment formula, the researcher found that reading habit and vocabulary size had a positive, yet “very low” correlation (with rcomputed = 0.188). Having positive “very low” correlation means that both the variables had the tendency of getting similar results, but then the tendency was weak. In other words, this means that students who got high score in their reading habit did not automatically get high score in the vocabulary size test, and vice versa. However, there might be some factors affecting the findings of the study. Therefore, further investigation on which other factors might affect reading habit and its relation with vocabulary size should be done in the future.

There are three research questions underlying this study, the first is what are technology tools used in the EFL assessment process in a Vocational High School in Samarinda? the second is How is the technology used by the English Teachers of a Vocational High School in Samarinda? and the last is, What are the challenges in using technology for the EFL assessment process? This study reveals that English teachers at a Vocational High School in Samarinda have integrated various technological tools in EFL assessment, especially post-distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The stages carried out by teachers in using digital technology tools in the assessment process are first preparation and drafting of online exam questions, second online assessment strategies and methods, third fraud monitoring and prevention, and finally exam materials and topics. The main challenges faced include limited internet access, unstable Wi-Fi networks in schools, and students' low digital literacy on the platforms used.
