In each session, technology media, such as engaging PowerPoint presentations and online games, are used to create variety in the learning experience, making participants feel interested and motivated. The results of this activity indicate an improvement in the participants' English skills, particularly in speaking. Additionally, there is also an increase in the participants' interest and motivation toward learning English. The use of creative methods and technology has proven effective in helping participants understand the material and creating a positive learning atmosphere.

Abstract

This study examines the English textbook "English Class X for SMA/MA/SMK/MAK Revised Edition 2017" through the lens of Tomlinson's theoretical framework to ascertain its effectiveness in facilitating language acquisition. Using a descriptive approach and document analysis, the study focused on book contents, examining elements such as impact, learner comfort, confidence building, relevance, language exposure and more. Data collection involved examining the content of the textbook, while analysis included subjective and objective ratings based on Tomlinson's sixteen criteria for effective learning materials. Results showed that the textbook was generally in line with Tomlinson's standards, meeting fifteen of the sixteen criteria, including impactful materials, learner engagement, and diverse learning opportunities. However, the textbook was lacking in facilitating learner self-investment. In addition, the study suggests improvements in physical design to enhance attractiveness. The textbook "English Class X" overall meets the criteria as a quality learning resource with diverse and engaging content, supporting effective language learning. This analysis provides important insights for informed textbook selection that fit within a pedagogical framework, aiming to improve student learning outcomes.
