Abstract
this research aims to explore authentic material oriented tasks in the two selected textbooks for 10 th grade of Senior High School in Indonesia. The is qualitative research using the document analysis. The data were collected from two textbooks, i.e., "Bahasa Inggris Kelas X" (Book 1) published by The Ministry of Education and Culture and "Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris Kelas X" (Book 2) published by Yrama Widya. The authentic tasks in the textbooks were analyzed based on skill focus, principles used, and sources used. The result shows that only a few tasks are authentic in both textbooks. Only 5 out of 287 tasks are authentic in Book 1. Book 2 has slightly more authentic tasks. 10 out of 211 tasks are authentic in Book 2. Book 1 focuses on reading skills (71%) whereas Book 2 focuses on writing skills (90%). In terms of the principles used, the result shows that both books use slightly different principles. Book 1 uses the principles of ‘having a real/genuine communicative purpose’ and ‘using real/fact information’ while Book 2 focuses on ‘using a real fact and information’. Moreover, the sources used in authentic material-oriented tasks particularly found in Book 1 are printed media and internet devices while in Book 2, internet devices are mostly used as the source. In conclusion, both English textbooks provide less authentic material-oriented tasks than pedagogical tasks.
本研究旨在探索印尼高中10年级两本教科书中真实的教材导向任务。本研究采用文献分析法进行定性研究。数据来自两本教科书,即由教育和文化部出版的“Bahasa Inggris Kelas X”(第一册)和由Yrama Widya出版的“Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris Kelas X”(第二册)。根据技能重点、使用的原则和使用的来源对教科书中的真实任务进行了分析。结果表明,两本教科书中只有少数任务是真实的。在第一册的287个任务中,只有5个是真实的。第二册的任务更真实一些。在第二册的211个任务中,有10个是真实的。第一册侧重于阅读技巧(71%),第二册侧重于写作技巧(90%)。就使用的原则而言,结果表明两本书使用的原则略有不同。第一册使用的原则是“有真实/真实的沟通目的”和“使用真实/事实信息”,而第二册则侧重于“使用真实的事实和信息”。此外,在书1中,真实的面向材料的任务中使用的来源主要是印刷媒体和互联网设备,而在书2中,互联网设备主要用作来源。总之,这两本英语教材提供的真正的教材任务都不如教学任务多。
