Abstract

One of the 21st century challenges is effective oral communication. While at the same time, some senior high school students are considered to be inept to speak English fluently. Their shortcomings in speaking belong to area of pragmatics. This study was intended to evaluate an English course book for senior high school entitled Bahasa Inggris untuk SMA/MA Kelas XI Semester 1 that is widely used by most senior high schools in Surabaya. Based on those rationales, this study investigated Bahasa Inggris untuk SMA/MA Kelas XI Semester 1 to find out what language function is taught and how the language function is delivered as reflected by the four pragmatic features in the speaking sections in the course book under study. The result of the study found first that there were all 8 language functions that were under transactional and interpersonal functions as demanded by the Curriculum 2006 but they were not presented in sequence as what the Curriculum 2006 demanded. Second, that all the four pragmatic features: context, the cooperative principles, and speech acts and politeness were found in the speaking sections and yet two characteristics in Speech Acts were not found. 5 items in Speech Acts and Politeness were not found as well. The arrangement of the four pragmatic features were provided moderately and mostly implied while they should be provided explicitly. Key Words: pragmatic features, language function, speaking sections, context, the cooperative principles, speech acts, politeness, senior high school English course book.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to picture out the implementation of the three up levels of the cognitive domain of revised Bloom’s Taxonomy used in the reading comprehension questions of Complete English for Cambridge Secondary 1, namely analyzing level, evaluating level, and creating level. Using the descriptive qualitative method, this study examined the questions in the reading comprehension questions of the Complete English for Cambridge Secondary 1 published by Oxford University Press – Oxford, United Kingdom, in 2016, arranged by Dean Roberts, Jane Arredondo, Annabel Charles, Alan Jenkins, & Tony Parkinson to categorize the reading comprehension questions into HOTs levels.   A Revised Bloom's taxonomy-based checklist was utilized to gather, list, and classify these questions according to their cognitive levels. Then, for each level, the percentages were computed and finally described in account paragraphs. The findings of this study confirmed that Oxford University Press is a creditable publisher which accommodates HOTS in reading comprehension exercises based on the revised Bloom Taxonomy. The result showed that the most dominant level in the textbook was higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) was analyzing level in 50%. Then the evaluation reached 30% and creating reached got 20%. Additionally, this research has consolidated the confirmation base for using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy as a framework for revealing cognitive processes included in the high-order thinking skills.
