Abstract

Understanding gender equality is crucial in education to reduce sexual bias and sexual violence. As the textbook is one of the most important teaching tools in ELT, it is important to represent the issues of gender equality. The representation of gender, however, needs to be planned carefully in order to avoid gender bias. This present study aims to analyze whether gender was represented equally or not in one of the Indonesian English textbooks. This research applied content analysis and critical discourse analysis. The data source of this research was taken from “Pathway to English for SMA/MA grade X’. The data then was analyzed based on the eight-factors procedures as proposed by Amerian and Esmaili (2015). It was revealed that the textbook did not fairly present both genders. The representations of men in the contents of the textbook were found to be higher in numbers than the representations of women. Based on the findings, it is suggested that English book writers need to be more careful in using any content related to gender. They need to present both genders equally in order to promote awareness of gender equality.

Abstract

In English courses, TOEFL and IELTS preparation classes are opened to accommodate the students’ need in learning English skills intensively and passing those standardized tests. As the EFL students still learn the target language, teachers often code-switch to give exposure and explanation. This research aims to study the use of code-switching in English courses. The research questions posed in this study are “what are the types of code-switching used by the teacher in TOEFL and IELTS preparation classes?” and “what are the functions of code-switching in TOEFL and IELTS preparation classes?” This study used descriptive statistics with two structured observation sheets as the instruments. The results showed that the teacher uses seven types of code-switching, intersentential, intrasentential, emblematic, lexical borrowing, integrated loanword, situational, and metaphorical switching in both observed TOEFL and IELTS classes. The researcher finds the six functions of code-switching: referential, directive, expressive, phatic, metalinguistic, and pedagogical functions.
