Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of a systematic review based on published studies on the genre-based approach (GBA) in writing explanation texts. The studies reviewed were from 2019-2023 with a total of ten studies. The objective of this review is to show how GBA enhances students’ writing skills in explanation texts, as well as the research trends related to GBA in the context of explanation texts. This review used thematic analysis to categorize the main themes that emerge in the selected studies. The findings show that the genre-based approach to writing explanation texts is very effective and enables students to understand and produce coherent, cohesive, and well-organized written works, as well as to improve their awareness and creativity skills, as they learn to examine, evaluate, and produce explanation texts, especially with the support of media or other techniques such as images, and jigsaw. These findings confirm that the genre-based approach improves students’ skills in writing explanation texts. Regarding the publication trends by year, there has been a limited number of research on GBA in the genre of explanation texts in the last 5 years, with the peak of publication in 2023 and 2020 (3 articles each), and the lowest in 2019 and 2022 (1 article each). In addition, most of the publications on this topic in the last 5 years came from Asian countries, with Indonesia leading the list, followed by Thailand.

Abstract

English Textbook is a widely used source for teaching English in Indonesia, but studies showed that many textbook tasks are unsuitable for students’ needs. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out the task types presented in the EFL Textbook, Easy English for Package B (Junior High School level), used by an Institution, focused on Module 1, Getting Acquaintance. The research design was a content analysis under a descriptive qualitative study. The data were collected from the EFL Module 1, and 1 teacher was recruited as a participant. The study used the task types rubric by Nunan (1999; 2004). Besides the content analysis, an interview was conducted to identify tasks found in the textbook and the teacher's perspective regarding the module. The finding showed that the module does not meet the standards of a good textbook, predominantly because it centered around linguistic tasks, comprising 97.66% of all tasks; another type of task is creative tasks, constituting only 2.32%. In other words, the module lacks diversity in task types, as there are no cognitive, interpersonal, or affective tasks. In the interview, the teacher shows a negative attitude towards the tasks in module 1, which is that the tasks ignore many other important aspects of learning. To improve, textbook makers should include various tasks from Nunan’s framework that apply to real life. Teachers should use these materials creatively, and schools should offer textbooks that provide comprehensive language tasks.

According to previous studies, some teachers have used authentic assessment to evaluate their students’ writing skills, but they have faced some challenges such as lack of time and resources to implement all kinds of authentic assessment. Authentic assessment is a powerful way to measure student writing because it allows students to write about realistic situations that suit their needs, and it can also enhance their writing abilities, motivation, enthusiasm, and desire to write
