Abstract

Studies on English language textbook analysis rarely incorporate cultural values in the functional grammar exercises since it is a crucial learning material in the English textbook. To address this gap, we aim to pinpoint the representation of cultural values in the functional grammar exercises in an Indonesian junior high school English textbook. By employing critical discourse study as the research methodology, we analyzed both the visual and textual data presented on the functional grammar exercises in the textbook. We adopted two analytical tools for analyzing data, i.e. transitivity analysis; and critical discourse analysis. The result shows that there are 28 functional grammar exercises that facilitate students in making meaning. Meaningful cultural representation from many social practices was found. This study suggests incorporating its findings into teaching to explain cultural values to students. Further studies need to focus on providing teacher experiences in teaching functional grammar exercises.

Abstract

Despite the sufficient amount of language textbook analysis studies that have been conducted, little attention focused on grammar exercises analysis presented in the Indonesian junior high school English textbooks that facilitated the students to make meaning where functional grammar principles were adopted. This current study nuanced education artifacts analysis. The researchers intended to reveal to what extent the English grammar exercises present functional grammar exercises. Moreover, The study provided a practical suggestion to teachers, textbook developers, and language practitioners to revise and include the functional grammar approach in designing English grammar exercises. Anchored into critical document study, this study focused to find the representation of functional grammar exercises portrayed in an English language textbook where the mandated English language curriculum endorses genre-based and text-based language pedagogy in an Indonesian secondary school context. Two analytical tools were combined (i.e. transitivity analysis and critical discourse study) to reveal the existing English grammar exercises. The findings present a total of 88 English grammar exercises found in the textbook. However, 28 English grammar exercises indicated activities for the student to make meaning. The result provided a critical suggestion for grammar exercises revision that facilitates students to make meaning and understanding the social practices of the language. However, this study only provided a textbook analysis, further studies possibly focus on action studies where the functional grammar exercises were implemented in classroom activities.
