A moral value study is necessary to be taught to students. One way to teach moral values is through literary works such as narrative texts. In this study, the Senior High School English textbooks published by The Ministry of Education and Culture and PT. Grafindo Media Pratama were evaluated on the moral principles provided in their narrative passages. A content analysis design was used in this investigation. The data was derived from seven narrative passages contained in English textbooks. The data were gathered by using a documentation method. The data collection, interpretation, and conclusion were the steps in the data analysis process. This study concentrated on the five moral values criteria listed by Linda and Eyre (2013): kindness, love and affection, honesty, respect, and courage. The study discovered that the virtue of kindness dominated the story texts, while respect was mentioned the least overtly. Furthermore, more study was needed to determine the efficacy of the school's environment in establishing values of morality.

Abstract

Native speakerism is an ideology in which people believe that real and correct English comes from the people who were born in Europe and use English as their mother tongue. This point of view may have an impact on "native speakers" and "foreign speakers"' professional life in English language teaching (ELT), particularly in Indonesia. This research aims to know how this ideology affects the Indonesian EFL students' perceptions of "native-speaker" and "non-native speaker" that refer to the educators. A quantitative descriptive method was chosen for this research to find out the perception of EFL University students in the context of TEFL. The population and sample of the research were the students from English Education Department at a State University. Based on the result, showed that students' judgments tended to be more persuasive when they claimed that competent English teachers also qualified as "native speakers" who possess adequate mastery of the language. However, although the majority of students believe that "native speakers" are the best teachers, they do not believe that their "non-native" instructors are ineffective because, on occasion, they are more knowledgeable about crucial English concepts like grammar than "native speakers."
