Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate what and how moral values portrayed in a non-governmental EFL textbook for junior high school students for grade 8. The present study applied critical discourse analysis (CDA), framed in Fairclough’s three dimensional approaches to analyze visual, textual, and multimodal texts materials that represent the moral values in the textbook. The findings showed that Religiosity has the most frequently moral values found in the textbook, which is represented 36 times through different images, texts, and multimodal texts. Followed by the frequency of Nationalism and Helping each other took in a second place that represented moral values in the textbook, whereas the values of Integrity and Independence has the least frequently found in the textbook. Despite the potential imbalance in quantity, it can be inferred that this English textbook remains suitable for teaching the character education values to the students, since the textbook contains all five core moral values that recommended by the Indonesian government under the PPK program.

Abstract

Self-efficacy beliefs is an important matter especially for teachers to have it as it enables an individual’s will to not give up easily if faced with challenging situations. By having high self-efficacy beliefs, teachers are expected to be able to effectively handle the difficulties they face in their classrooms so that they are able to select teaching methods, technique as well as the materials that will help them in teaching. However, little has been done on exploring specifically about English teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in teaching reading using technology during the post-pandemic era. This study is done by implementing narrative inquiry which expected to be able to give detailed information about teachers’ personal experience in utilizing technology and how they evaluate their self-efficacy dealing with it. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. Findings showed that despite implementing technology to increase students’ motivation is a success, it doesn’t apply in increasing students’ achievements. Therefore, to improve students’ achievements the teachers decided to focus on sharpening the students’ basic skills using school textbooks. Moreover, teachers also apply variations in teaching reading by implementing group work.
