Abstract

The main function of any language is to express ideas, thoughts, and feelings. These being characteristic properties of human beings, the language a human being uses will ultimately reflect what is characteristic of him or her. Good language reflects good characteristics of the user, and vice-versa. Learning being another characteristic property of human beings, the language one learns shapes and is shaped by his or her personal characteristics. As character is the accumulation of one’s personal characteristics, there are good reasons to suggest that while one is learning and using a language, he take good care so that good character is reflected. In that way communication will be properly conducted and interpersonal relationships properly established.

Abstract

This study attempted to evaluate an academic writing textbook used in English Education Study Program of Language and Art Education Faculty of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, East Java, Indonesia. The fourth edition of a book entitled ―Writing Academic English‖ written by Oshima and Hogue was critically evaluated based on two major points, namely general attributes of the textbook and the learning-teaching contents of the textbook. The general attributes of the textbook cover the book in relation to syllabus and curriculum, the methodology, the book‘s suitability to learners, physical and utilitarian attributes, and efficient outlay of supplementary materials; and the learning-teaching content of the textbook covers general elements (move of the tasks, tasks‘ objectives, etc.), academic writing (specified on research paper writing), vocabulary, grammar, and exercises. The questionnaires developed to evaluate the textbook were adapted from textbook evaluation checklist developed by Mukundan, Nimehchisalem, and Hajimohammadi (2011). The results indicate that the lecturers and students were not really satisfied with the book since it does not represent the students‘ needs and curriculum (the curriculum of English Education Study Program of IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro mandated to teach research paper writing for Writing IV course). The materials provided there are not specified to research paper writing. However, the textbook is very good in some points such as the methodology, physical and utilitarian attributes, layout of the book, general elements (move of the tasks, tasks‘ objectives, etc.), academic writing (from paragraph writing to various essays writing), vocabulary, grammar, and exercises in the area.
