Abstract

The urgency of revealing the actual situation of gender equality in education is the background of this study. Two textbooks used regularly in Senior High School level in Semarang namely ‗Bahasa Inggris‘ (henceforth BI) and ‗Aim High‘(henceforth AH) were used as the subjects of the study. Briefly, the objectives of the study are to describe the similarities of the representation of gender in BI and AH and to describe differences of the representation of gender in BI and AH. In gathering the data, content analysis for analyzing gender representation proposed by Brugeiilles and Cromer (2009) was used as the instrument to gain the data after being adapted in some parts. The results of the analysis revealed that (1) both BI and AH are similar in the domination of male over female in the exercise and images part; they are also similar in depicting male characters engaged with higher education, social, and outdoor-based activities. In another side, (2) Both BI and AH are different in which BI has no one female- or equal shared domination in all of the parts while AH has female dominated the frequency in the course material and equal shared domination in the reading passage and conversation part.

Abstract

The current study aims to disclose how arguments of writer and sources of other voices are generated in the pedagogical-proposed texts in the textbook under appraisal analysis. While a plethora of studies on evaluation of interpersonal linguistic features or Engagement resources used in students’ writings in tertiary context, little studies focus on senior secondary level. To fill this niche, this study investigates Engagement resources of expository text in Indonesian mandatory EFL textbook which is used as model or sample for writing section. Students in this level may not be expected to produce good arguments since they are actually in progress to learn how to articulate their ideas through certain genres. Considering this condition in mind, the sample or model text used in the classroom is crucial. Following appraisal framework (Martin White, 2005), two exposition texts are generated as source data in attempt to investigate linguistic features and strategy of the textual voice in expressing authorial or external voices. The findings suggest the needs of evaluation of text provided in textbook from the lens of appraisal analysis as an alternative and it is also recommended for teachers as facilitator in writing exposition text to overtly take Engagement resources into account in teaching process in order to facilitate students’ writing with intertextuality.
