Task 3: Evaluating English Text Books

Text book: Bahasa Inggris

Bashir., M. (2014). Bahasa Inggris. Balitbang: Pusat Kurikulum dan Perbukuan.

Based on website exploration, our group learned from:

https://www.google.co.uk/searchq=text+based+syllabus&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwih671hJfVAhVIbbwKHSw_APYQ_AUIBigB&biw=1366&bih=662#imgrc=Y7RwzE77oZ79HM that a text-based syllabus is:

            "A type of integrated syllabus because it combines elements of different types of syllabus                    (Feez, 1998:85-86)."

Bashir's (2014) "Bahasa Inggris" fits this definition of text-based syllabus, therefore our group decided that this text book is developed based on text-based syllabus.

According to Graves (2000):

        “The text-based syllabus focuses on understanding and analysing texts on a number of levels,             among them are lexical, grammatical, discourse, and sociocultural.”

Graves’ description on how text-based syllabus is organized fits the way Bashir’s (2014) organize the materials in the textbook.

Task 2: Evaluating English Text Books

Text book: 1700 Bank Soal Bimbingan Pemantapan Bahasa Inggris

Dj., O. S. (2013). 1700 Bank Soal Bimbingan Pemantapan Bahasa Inggris. Bandung: YRAMA WIDYA.

Based on website exploration, our group learned from :

http://bogglesworldesl.com/glossary/structuralsyllabus.htm that a structural syllabus is:

                “A syllabus in which grammatical structures form the central organizing feature. A structural  syllabus proceeds from simple grammatical  structure to more complex grammatical structure. “

Dj.'s (2013) "1700 Bank Soal Bimbingan Pemantapan Bahasa Inggris" fits this definition of structural syllabus, therefore our group decided that this text book is developed based on structural syllabus.

Task 1: Evaluating English Text Books

Text book: Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students XI

Priyana, J., Riandi, & Mumpuni, A. P. (2008). Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students XI. Jakarta: Pusat Perbukuan Departemen Pendidikan Nasional.

Based on website exploration, our group learned from :

http://bogglesworldesl.com/glossary/functionalsyllabus.htm that a functional syllabus is:

“Language programs with functions being the primary organizing feature. The course content is based on functions not grammatical structures. “

Priyana, Riandi, & Mumpuni's (2008) "Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students XI" fits this definition of functional syllabus, therefore our group decided that this text book is developed based on functional syllabus.

Wilkins (1976) on his article at UKEssays entitled "Functional Syllabus/Notional Syllabus" mentioned that

 “A notional-functional syllabus is an approach where the organization of the material is determined with notions or ideas that learners expect to be able to express through the target language and the functions acts learners expect to be able to accomplish.”

Wilkins’ (1976) description on how functional syllabus is organized fits the way Priyana, Riandi, & Mumpuni's (2008) organize the materials in the textbook. The textbook starts with expressions that is used in daily communication.
