Abstract

This study explores the portrayal of gender roles, gender stereotypes, and gender activities in visual representations within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used in Indonesian senior high schools. Using a Critical Feminist Discourse Analysis (CFDA) approach, investigates how these visual depictions promote or challenge existing gender stereotypes. The analysis focuses on textbooks used in Grades X and XI, identifying patterns in the representation of male and female characters. Key themes explored include the alignment of these portrayals with societal expectations of masculinity and femininity, especially in the contexts of professional roles and domestic roles. The findings reveal that, while traditional gender norms continue to dominate, there are emerging trends where gender roles are more diversified, particularly in the representation of women in career roles and men in caregiving or domestic settings. These results suggest that EFL textbooks gradually move toward more balanced gender representations, though traditional stereotypes remain prevalent. It emphasizes the need for a more inclusive and equitable approach to gender representation in educational materials

Abstract

Kesejahteraan emosional seorang guru pemula dapat dipengaruhi oleh kesulitan yang mereka hadapi dalam karir profesional mereka. Dapat dimengerti bahwa beberapa pendidik EFL tahun pertama mungkin merasa sulit untuk mengendalikan emosi negatif mereka ketika dihadapkan pada situasi yang menantang di dalam kelas. Meskipun dapat diterima untuk mengekspresikan beberapa perasaan secara terbuka, namun ada juga yang merasa tabu karena berbagai alasan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan: (1) perasaan apa yang biasanya dihadapi oleh pengajar tahun pertama di kelas? (2) Bagaimana cara pengajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing tahun pertama mengelola perasaan mereka saat bekerja? Para peneliti dalam penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan wawancara semi-terstruktur untuk mendapatkan informasi rinci tentang pengalaman para partisipan dalam mengelola emosi mereka.
