Abstract

The most essential element of English teaching is culture. The cultural content of the language education and learning process supports students to describe the language that exists in that culture. Cultural content is communicated through the textbook as essential in education and learning. So, culture content analysis is critical to selecting, developing, and effectively using the correct textbooks. This research aims to examine the types of cultures represented in textbooks, classify them into source, target, and international cultures (Cortazzi & Jin, 1999), and how the cultures of the classified textbooks are represented. It is to discover aesthetic, social, semantic, and practical senses (Adaskou, Britten & Fahsi, 1990). Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods. This research data is from the English textbook When English Rings for Junior High School. This data is cultural material gathered from all textbook readings, conversations, tasks, and images and converted in frequency. Two results were found in the textbook analysis. First are the results presented in the textbook entitled "When English Rings the Bell," which are source culture, target culture, and international culture. Secondly, the culture of both textbooks was represented primarily by pragmatic sensations compared to aesthetic, semantic, and sociological sensations. Therefore, there was an imbalance between the type of culture presented and how cultures were presented in the textbook.

Abstract

English communication is very important in this era. Students are expected to have proficient English skills. However, in reality, students often use English dictionaries when talking to others. A dictionary is a collection of words that functions as a reference that provides translations of words, meanings, and how to read words. Therefore, this research provide an overview of students who often rely on dictionaries when speaking English with other people. The purpose of this research is to see the presentations of students who rely on dictionaries when talking to other people. That way, it will be easier to conclude whether using a dictionary helps students or makes students dependent and ultimately unable to speak English fluently. The research method used is quantitative. Data were collected by using a survey method. The survey method aims to collect data as appropriate by giving questionnaires to the sample to be studied. To maximize the data collected, the survey that the researchers distributed used a Likert Item scale. The participants consisted of 85 of 5th semester students of the English Education Study Program at The University of Nias. The research results show that students still rely on using dictionaries when speaking English.  The ongoing reliance on dictionaries indeed carries a detrimental effect; hence, it is recommended that dictionaries be employed only when necessary.
