Abstract

Gender representation in English textbooks has been an interesting issue because teachers use textbooks to explain their lessons in school. However, this type of research is still done infrequently by researchers. The aims of this study are to identify similarities and differences in gender representation in parts of text, gender representation in visual, and gender roles in occupation in English textbooks for Grade Eight in Indonesia. Two English textbooks from different authors and publishers were selected for this study: Textbook 1 (When English Rings a Bell) and Textbook 2 (Interactive English 2). The first result reveals that in the components of the text, male representations are more detectable than female representations. The similarity between the two textbooks describes that male representations are more visible than female representations in conversation script and exercise. However, unlike textbook 2 which also have male domination in two other components, textbook 1 portrays female domination in course material and reading passage. The second result is that male representations are more appeared than female representations in both individual and group settings in both English textbooks. In individual, male characters have the highest proportion in textbook 1 while in textbook 2, male characters in the group have the highest proportion. The last result is that male roles in occupations are portrayed in a larger number of occupations than female roles in occupations for both English textbooks. In Textbook 1, males have 7 categories of occupation, while females have 3 kinds of job. In Textbook 2, male roles identify 10 types of job, while female roles mention 6 categories of occupation. It can be concluded that male characters are more represented than female characters in parts of the text, visual, and role in occupation for both English textbooks. This causes gender inequality between males and females.

Abstract

The main goal of this research is to determine "What cultural awareness is represented in the English textbooks Pathway to English Grade X General Programme?”, “What cultural awareness is represented in the English textbooks Pathway to English Grade X Elective Programme?”, and “What are the comparison between two English textbooks?”. Two English textbooks from the same author and publisher but used in different programmes for senior high school were chosen for this study, they are Pathway to English Grade X, General Programme; and Pathway to English Grade X, Elective Programme. This study is part of the qualitative approach to library research. To make it easier to understand, Percentage-based quantitative analysis is used. Researchers collect data from English textbooks in the context of textbook analysis to come clean about the way culture awareness contents are represented in two English textbooks. The findings show that all English textbooks presented cultural awareness content, and the cultural awareness contents in each English textbook used by Senior High School as EFL have covered four aspects of cultural content for Book I, and seven aspects of cultural content for Book II. Although not all aspects of the cultural category are covered in the English textbook, it is clear that the cultural content exceeds half of the total. The percentage of those is as follows: Book I have 72,80 per cent and Book II have 70 per cent. This suggests that the authors should use several different cultural awareness aspects in their English textbook as EFL.
