AN ANALYSIS OF TEXTBOOK FOR TEACHING ENGLISH C13 AT SMA NEGERI 1 CIRUAS: A BENEFICIAL OR DETRIMENTAL

Abstract

The textbook is at the heart of instruction and plays an important role in the curriculum. However, it is frequently discovered that the materials of a textbook do not accurately represent the purpose of the curriculum. Given this perspective, the purpose of this research is to determine the relevance of the textbook elements to the 2013 curricular materials. Using qualitative research conducted on PLP activities to find the teacher’s rationale for using the textbook and the document checklist to find the relevance of the textbook to the 2013 curriculum (C13), this study discovered that the English textbook used was relatively relevant to the 2013 curriculum, with few exceptions. As a result, it is envisaged that the teacher will be able to complete such minor gaps with others to meet the objective set in the 2013 curriculum as well.
