INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Study
Language is an important tool for communication. According to Oxford
Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English, language is “(1) The system
of communication in speech and writing that is used by people of a particular
country, (2) the use by humans of a system of sound and words to communicate,
(3) a particular style of speaking or writing”. It means people can express their
ideas, thoughts, feelings, and desires by language.
One of the international language is English. English is the language used by
most countries among other languages in the world. As Jack C. Richards and
Theodore S. Rodgers said that Latin was most widely studied as foreign language
five hundred years ago. However, English has become the most widely studied as
foreign language today.
In Indonesia, English has become the first foreign language. English is also
intensively used in international communication, in written as well as in spoken
communication. In addition, many books of science and technology, art, and other
published issues are written in English. In English language, there are four skills
to be mastered. Those are listening, speaking, reading and writing. Through
listening and reading we can understand something and through speaking and
writing we can communicate about our feeling, need, and desires.
Instruction materials in the form of the textbook are very important for teacher
and learner in making preparation and conducting in the teaching. For example,
teacher need textbook.in addition, without textbook, teacher will have difficulties
in constructing written evaluation. While for learner, textbook also plays an
important role. The learner who do not have textbook with them during the
teaching learning activities will not be able to follow the lesson well. In the other
word, lack of textbook in teaching and activities can create the less success of
teaching.
Analysis is a method by which a thing is separated into parts, and those parts
are give rigorous logical, detailed scrutiny, resulting, in a consistent and relatively
complete account (William, 2013: 20). While Textbook Analysis or textual
analysis is a methodology in the social science for studying the content of
communication. Babbie (2007) defines it as “the study of recorded human
communication, such as a books, websites, paintings and laws”. According to
Joubish(2009), textbook analysis is considered a scholarly methodology in the
humanities by which texts are studied as authorship, authenticity, or meaning.
This latter subject includes philology, hermeneutics, and semiotics.
While a description on Krippendorff handbook of textbook Analysis, it is said
that the textbook Analysis is a research technique for making replicable and valid
inferences from texts (or other meaningful matter) to the contextof they used
(2003: 18). As a technique, textbook analysis involves specialized procedure. It is
learnable and divorceable from the personal authority of the researcher. As a
research technique also the textbook analysis provides new insights, increases
researcher understanding of particular phenomena, or inform practical actions.
This textbook Analysis could be likely a research tool.
Textbook Analysis, as a research method, is a systematic and objective means
of describing and quantifying phenomena (Krippendorf, 1980:18). It is also
known as a method of analyzing documents. Textbook Analysis allows the
researcher to test theoretical issues to enhance understanding of the date. Through
textbook Analysis, it is possible to distil words into fewer content related
categories. It is assumed that when classified into the same categories, words,
phrases and the like share the same meaning (Cavanagh, 1997).
In all level of class the textbook is a book used as a standard source of
information for formal study of a subject and an instrument for teaching and
learning (Graves 2000: 175). It should be regarded as one of the many sources
teachers can draw upon in creating an effective lesson and may offer a framework
of guidance and orientation. Because of the important of textbook, the researcher
want to analyze to what extent the English textbook Let’s Talk in English relevant
to the sixth grade of elementary school curriculum and to analyze how the quality
of the textbook Let’s Talk in English on the criteria of the sixth grade of
elementary school curriculum.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL REVIEW
A. Theoritical Review
1. Curriculum in Indonesia
The seventh standardized curriculum applied nationally was developed and
implemented in 1975. According to Mistar, Sadtono, and Yuwono
(2005:5,1997:11,2005:16), The national curriculum of English was revised in
1984, 1994, 2000, and 2003. According to the 1975 curriculum, the purpose of
English teaching was to facilitate the development of advance science,
technology, culture, and arts, and to enhance international relations. The four
language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking were taught discretely.
The 1975 is also known with the audio-lingual approach, the same approach with
a former curriculum. It focuses on audio-lingual not writing or other skill
In 1984, the ministry of education revised the national curriculum and,
therefore, it is known as the 1984 curriculum. The teaching method adopted in
this curriculum was known as the communicative approach. There was a
misinterpretation because of its name; most teachers believed that it should only
emphasize speaking skill (Mistar, 2005:13).Communicative was interpreted as
oral communication, so other language skills such as reading, listening, and
writing were neglected. Grammatical accuracy was sacrificed for fluency; as a
results student were almost speaking something similar to English creole. A creole
language, or simply a creole, is a stable natural language developed from the
mixing of parent languages.
Another curriculum was introduced in 1994, there were not many changes
in English language teaching. However, there was a change of priority of
language skill in the 1994 curriculum. The most important language skill was
reading, followed by listening, speaking, and writing. Language skill and
language elements were no longer taught separately as in 1984 curriculum. The
teaching was wrapped around language theme and functions (Mistar, 2005:13). So
in this curriculum, the lesson of English language was only emphasized on how
the children have to mastering communication by using English language in a
conversation way.
In 2004, a competence-based curriculum was adopted. There were not any
significant changes in terms of learning materials. In the previous curriculum,
trimester of school calendar was used. In the 2004 curriculum, a semester school
calendar was introduced. The government controls the quality of education by
setting basic competence and competence standard. These competence are
measured by a standardized national test at the end of year 9 and 12. It is also
emphazised in communication to face the global economy and global education.
In 2006, in line with the implementation of the Regional Autonomy Law,
the ministry of education promoted school-based management and school based
curriculum. School are expected to develop their own curriculum and be
financially independent. The adoption of a school based management system has
only benefited school in the cities and in the well-developed areas. Schools in the
less developed and rural areas suffer a lack of resorces because of the significant
budget cut from the government. The government still controls education by
suggesting approved teaching materials and administering national standardized
tests. So, the same things come towards rural area, the rural area were lack of
English teacher and the quality of English language there.
In 2013, the government decided to try out the new designed curriculum,
the 2013 curriculum or called K-13. Thousands of schools, ranging from
elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school have participated in
this try out. Despite the debate on the lack of preparation and infrastructure, the
2013 curriculum offers many new features in our education system.
The curriculum of elementary school is different from the high school
curriculum. The elementary school students are required to have an ability to
communicate and to improve their enthusiasm in learning a language. The article
6 subsection 6 of government laws no.19, 2005 states that kurikulum dan silabus
SD/MI/SDLB/Paket A, atau bentuk lainnya yang sederajat menekankan
pentingnya kemampuan dan kegemaran membaca dan menulis, kecakapan
berhitung, serta kemampuan berkomunikasi. Primary school/Islamic elementary
school/Primary school for the student with special needs/Package A or the same
level institutions emphasize the importance of reading and writing, counting, and
communicationabilities.
From those explanations above, it can be concluded that curriculum is an
education curriculum that is arranged and applied in each school. It aims at
managing teaching and learning processes. The 2013 curriculum or K-13
emphasize motivating or supporting students in order get ready and self-confident
in learning English in the next grade.
2. Competence Standard
a. Competence Standard
Competence Standard is a description of knowledge of skill and attitudes
that must be mastered after students learn certain subjects at certain levels of
education. According to Abdul Majid (2008), Competence Standard are
framework that explain the basis for the development of structured learning
program. In each subject, of competency standard is determined by the curriculum
developers that we can see from the content standard.
b. Basic Competence
Basic competence is a set of attitudes, knowledge, and skills that must be
owned internalized, and controlled by students after learning a learning content,
complete a program, or complete certain education unit (government regulations
Indonesian National Standards No.32/ 2013)
3. Textbook
Instruction materials in the form of the textbook are veryimportant for both
teacher and learner in making preparation and conducting in the teaching. For
example, teacher need textbook.in addition, without textbook, teacher will have
difficulties in constructing written evaluation. While for learner, textbook also
plays an important role. The learner who do not have textbook with them during
the teaching learning activities will not be able to follow the lesson well. In the
other word, lack of textbook in teaching and activities can create the less success
of teaching.
A textbook has many function. According to Thomson (2008), the
textbook has many function as follows.
1. Individualization of instruction
A textbook helps students to individualize instruction by enabling them to
procced at their own rate and to a limited extent, according to what they are
interested in studying.
2. Organization of instruction
A textbook helps students to organize instruction by providing
experiences, suggested activities, recommended reading and question. Written
textbook gives unity to classroom interaction and is graded to introduce new
concepts or contents they build upon what has preceded.
3. Tutorial contribution
A teacher often uses the textbook to help students learn how to read better,
to study, to weigh evidence, and to solve problems.
4. Improvement of teaching
Textbook is also regarded as a helpful utility which is used by teachers to
improve their skill in teaching
From the explanantion above, textbook is a kind of visual aid in teaching
learning process. It means that the function of a textbook is actually as one of the
visual aids by teachers, when they are teach and explain the teaching materials
given by teacher.
Textbooks are considered at the heart of educational activities, as they
provide students “a rich array of new and potentially interesting facts, and open
the door to a world of fantastic experience”. The textbook have significant role as
they are considered as a “primary vehicles for delivering content knowledge, for
determining in large measure what goes on in a class”and for assessing what
students do and do not. A majority of teachers consider textbooks as the only
teaching resource. Textbook do not only influence what and how student learn,
but also what and how teachers teach.
Based on the important role of textbook in learning activity, good textbook
should be selected in order to support the success of teaching and learning, but if
teacher used textbook without selecting the quality, it is possible that teaching will
deviate from the objective
In theory, textbooks are developed on the basis of written curriculum. The
curriculum also guides the textbook evaluation. Tornroos (2004: 2) used the term
“potentially implemented curriculum”. To describe the role of the textbook and
other curriculum materials in a classroom in the light of written curriculum. This
role of textbook constitutes primary stage between the intended (written)
curriculum and the implemented curriculum. Increased attention is being paid to
quality of textbook for the student. While the reasons of the researcher choosing
the “Let’s Talk in English” because this book based on the curriculum 2013 that
gathered nowadays. And the second was because the textbook is a newly produce
as a recommendation for the textbook reference spreading out trough the sixth
grade of Elementary School students
4.Textbook Analysis
Analysis is a method by which a thing is separated into parts, and those parts
are give rigorous logical, detailed scrutiny, resulting, in a consistent and relatively
complete account (William, 2013: 20). While Textbook Analysis or textual
analysis is a methodology in the social science for studying the content of
communication. Babbie (2007) defines it as “the study of recorded human
communication, such as a books, websites, paintings and laws”. According to
Joubish(2009), textbook analysis is considered a scholarly methodology in the
humanities by which texts are studied as authorship, authenticity, or meaning.
This latter subject includes philology, hermeneutics, and semiotics.
While a description on Krippendorff handbook of textbook Analysis, it is said
that the textbook Analysis is a research technique for making replicable and valid
inferences from texts (or other meaningful matter) to the contextof they used
(2003: 18). As a technique, textbook analysis involves specialized procedure. It is
learnable and divorceable from the personal authority of the researcher. As a
research technique also the textbook analysis provides new insights, increases
researcher understanding of particular phenomena, or inform practical actions.
This textbook Analysis could be likely a research tool.
Textbbok Analysis, as a research method, is a systematic and objective means
of describing and quantifying phenomena (Krippendorf, 1980:18). It is also
known as a method of analyzing documents. Textbook Analysis allows the
researcher to test theoretical issues to enhance understanding of the date. Through
textbook Analysis, it is possible to distil words into fewer content related
categories. It is assumed that when classified into the same categories, words,
phrases and the like share the same meaning (Cavanagh, 1997).
Textbook Analysis is a research method for making replicable and valid
inferences from data to their context, with the purpose of providing knowledge,
new insights, a representation of facts and a practical guide to action. The aim is
to attain a condensed and broad description of the phenomenon, and the outcome
of the analysis is concepts or categories is to build up a model, conceptual system,
conceptual map or categories. The researcher makes a choice between the terms
‘çoncept’and ‘category’ and uses one or the other. For example, if the purpose of
the study is to develop a theory, it is recomended that the term ‘concept’ be used
a proxy for ‘category’. However, in this paper, when describing the analysis
process, we use the term ‘category’ because this is mostly used.
Textbook analysis is a research method for making replicable and valid
inference from data to their context, with the purpose of providing knowledge,
new insights, arepresentation of facts and a practical guide to action. The aim is to
attain a condensed and broad analysis of the basic competence, and the outcome
of the analysis is concepts or categories describing quality of this textbook.
It is highly significant to state that this study assesses the relevant of the
textbook on the basis of seven main criteria. The physical appearance and format
textbook, the accompany materials, the content and the topics, the exercises and
the activities, cultural presentation, the four skills and the language method than
textbook adopts.
B. Review of Previous Related Studies
In this section of the study, five previous studies will be reviewed briefly to
give depiction and broader knowledge in doing this research. The previous study
focus on methodology and result of each research to compare one to another in
order to get depiction of what and how the researcher conduct an analyzing
especially textbook analysis.
A thesis by Meitha Fitriani (2013) entitled A Textbook Evaluation of “When
English Rings Bell” an Textbook For the Seventh Grade of Junior High School.
Was conducted to analyze the theme of the textbook, analysis what the textbook
could catch up the aim of making textbook for seventh grade of Junior high
school, was each theme of each unit cover the communicative language teaching
goal in term of newest curriculum for the seventh grade, and to analyze what the
textbook suitable for the seventh grade. This research used qualitative and
quantitative data. From the research there are actually much more category in the
“When English Rings the Bell” textbook, in which each category means to get
toward the same meaning of the theme. Actually, from the sides of
communicative function of the nine integrated standard, the Textbook was
proportional enough because it contains almost the whole communicative
competence trought it. From the side of age analysis, the textbook not necessarily,
but for the real communication used, almost the students felt too easy to learn the
content of this textbook. It is quite simple as their grade level
A thesis by Teguh Ariebowo (2017) entitled The Evaluation of Seventh
Grade English Textbook “When English Ring the bell” a Survey Research. Was
conducted with research problem to what extent does textbook meet the criteria
and what are the strengths and weaknesses of textbook according to the survey.
This research used survey method with research subject were 10 Junior High
School in Yogyakarta. The result of this research according to the survey result in
some aspect is very effective and ineffective. The strength of the textbook would
be attractiveness, this textbook was designed in a colorful way and illustrated with
attractive comic like character. The ineffective to the respondents the evaluation
result on the aim shows that the developing of this textbook did not consider the
basic foundation which should be generated in the very beginning process of it is
development.
A thesis by Miftahul Janah (2017) entitled The Analysis of the Kurikulum
2013 Based English Textbook For The Tenth Year High School was conducted
with research problem to what extent does the English textbook reflect the
curriculum 2013 competencies. The research was undertaken using a content
analysis method. The result of this research is not all of the basic competencies in
the textbook are relevant to the basic competencies for first graders of Senior
High School in the first semester of English Kurikulum 2013. There are 22 basic
competencies for first graders of Senior High School in the first semester of
English Kurikulum 2013 which is four of them are should be available in every
chapter, they are point of 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3. One of them is not available in
every chapter in this textbook, it is point 1.1 which ask students to thank God for
the opportunity to learn English as the language of international communication
that is manifested in the spirit of learning. And of eighteen basic competencies,
there are eleven basic competencies are appropriate with the basic competencies
of the Kurikulum 2013. And there is a best part of this textbook; this textbook has
supported by KementerianPendidikandanPerbukuan. But unfortunately, this
textbook does not cover point 1.1 of basic competence; thank God, attitude, moral
and behavior which the most important things in Kurikulum 2013.
A thesis by Dewi Indrawati (2012) entitled An Analysis of The English
Course book Entitled Grow with English by Dr. Mukarto, M. Sc. Was conducted
with research problem how relevant is the English course book Grow With
English for the fifth grade elementary school students to the curriculum or SK
and KD. Based on the data the goals of the course have been relevant to the SK
and KD in reading, listening and speaking, but the activities in the writing can be
said irrelevant because they cannot cover the learning objectives in writing. And
the vocabulary and grammar items are developed based on the topic discussed and
the grammatical structure in the course book is simple and easy understand to
students.
A thesis by Devi Audina Pratama (2017) entitled An Analysis of Textbook
Entitled “pathway to English”Publiseh by Erlangga at the First Semester of the
eleventh Grade of Senior High School”was conducted with research problem
analyze the particular textbook entitled pathway to English which published by
Erlangga based on the characteristic of its textbook. The method used in this
research was classified as content analysis or document analysis. The result of this
research was first, pathway textbook at the first semester fulfill syllabus points of
the 2013 curriculum. Second, the broad pathway textbook including and
developing basic competence into some exercises of 4 English textbook.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter is devoted to discussion of the research design, research
subject, subject of the study, data collection and research instrument. The
explanation of each section is below.
A. Research Design
The type of research is evaluative descriptive. The approach, where
researcher intend to collect data about implementation of policies that have been
carried out (Arikunto, 2001). Evaluative descriptive which in this study only
describes facts found in the field without making change on each variable.
Descriptive research constitutes a systematic, factual and accurate picture or
painting of phenomena or relationships between the phenomena investigated
(Suprayogo and Tobroni, 2001). This study is conducted to find what extent the
English textbook Let’s Talk in English relevant to the sixth grade of elementary
school curriculum and how the quality of the textbook Let’s Talk in English
based on the criteria of the sixth grade of elementary school curriculum.

was publised by CV Mitra Abadi in 2017. This book aranged based on curriculum
2013.
“Let’s Talk in English”textbook is divided into two parts following the
academic terms, Semester 1 and Semester 2. Each part is divided into units.
Semester 1 consist of five units and Semester 2 consist of five units. The theme
unit set in curriculum is divided into ten units, they are : “school life”, “camping,
“hobby”, “games”, “tourism objects”, “religious tourism”, “direction”,
“legend”, “falk tale”, “government”. The paper in Let’s talk in English is
smooth paper with white color. The thickness of the book is normal for the
elementary school students, about 100-130 pages. This book has 128 pages.
C. Subject of the Study
The subject of the study is the English teacher of sixth-grade in elementary
schools of Jumok I and Jumok II of Ngraho District Bojonegoro.
D. Data Collection and Research Instrument
1. Data Collection
The data were obtained from English course book “Let’s talk in
English”for the Sixth grade student in Elementary scgool. Then, the book was
evaluated based on some criteria.
The data are taken from the each unit in this book. Those units are listed
and grouped then put in the basic competence, evaluation table and learning
objectives in 4 skill frequency tables as the instruments of this research. The
forms of the basic competence evaluation table and learning objectives in 4 skills
frequency tables have been mentioned before on table 1 until table 5.
2. Research Instrument
This study used some instruments to collect the data from the object of the
study. Some of them are evaluation table and questionnaires. The descriptions of
instrument are described below.The questionnaries were used to supporting data.
The researcher distributed some questionnaries to elementary school English
teachers in Jumok I and Jumok II to find out English course books that they often
used.
The evaluation table is used to classify the raw data into their learning
objectives. The codes are utilized in this table are R for reading skill, L for
listening skill. S for speaking skill, and W for writing skill. The numbers 1 to 8
are utilized to condense the learning objectives criteria 1 to 8. The table is
presented below.

From the total frequency for each skill and its percentage, it can be concluded
what skill which highgest and lowest. Then, the instrument should have reliability
to know the questionnaires are reliable with the result. explained in the following:
The reliability of the Questionnaire
The questionnaire to find out the reliability of the questionnaire, the data were
analyzed by using the Alpha-Cronbach Coefficient formula. The formula is
presented below.
𝑘 𝑉𝑡 − ∑ 𝑝𝑞
𝑟=[ ][ ]
(𝑘 − 1) 𝑉𝑡
Where :
r : instrument reliability
k : number of question
Vt: the total of item score variances
p:the propotion of the subject right answer ( the propotion of subject that score 1)
q: the propotion of the subject wrong answer ( the propotion of subject that score
0)
(Arikunto, 2010: 231) From the result of the computation, it was found that the
reliability coefficient for the questionnaire if the value of instrument more than
0,60, the instrument is reliable.
3. Data Analysis Technique
a. Evaluation Table
In this research, the researcher analyzed the data from the textbook with
rubric assessment from BSNP. This analysis was meant to evaluate the materials
which are conformed in Curriculum 2013. In this analysis, the researcher did the
following steps;
1. Comparing the materials provided within the textbook with the theme
suggested by the Curriculum 2013
2. Evaluating the materials presented in the textbook “let’s talk in
English”
3. Interpreting the data gained from process of evaluation of the textbook
“let’s talk in English”
4. Summing up the compatibility of the textbook content in Quantitative
output to show result in percentage and number. The researcher used
the following formula to help presenting the data in forms of number
P=F:Nx100%
Notes : P: Percentage
F: Frequency
N: The Sum of the Frequency (Anas Sudhiono,
2005)
5. The researcher also used two models for the scoring formula based on
BSNP rubric assessment, first the range scoring is 4 to 1 as follows :
a. Score 4 is given if the textbook materials fulfill 91%-100% from the
rubric assessment criteria
b. Score 3 is given if the textbook materials fulfill more than 76%-
90% from the rubric assessment criteria
c. Score 2 is given if the textbook materials fulfill 61%-75% from the
rubric assessment criteria
d. Score 1 is given if the textbook materials fulfill 0-60% of the rubric
assessment criteria
6. The second, the range scoring is 4 and 1 as follows :
a. Score 4 is given if the textbook fulfill at least 95% of the criteria
b. score 1 is given if the textbook could not fulfil 95% of the criteria
b. Questionnaire
The existing data are related using descriptive statistics which involves the
measurement using frequency. The brief steps of analyzing the data are:
1. The data are observed and compared to the relevancy Curriculum 2013.
2. The data are ticked and scored 1 if the item is considered relevant to the
objective and 0 if the items are considered irrelevant.
3. The data are put in the frequency tables.
4. The data are observed by another reviewer.
5. The reviewers fill out the BC evaluation table individually
6. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistic to describe the relevance
of the BC by calculating the scores obtained for each objective.
In this analysis, it was used to describe how the relevant the textbook to the
Curriculum 2013.
