Abstract
This research is motivated by the fact that research on the integration of soft skills in the English language textbooks is still not much done, especially in senior high school level. This study is aimed to describe the values of soft skills, integration of soft skills in the reading materials of English text book, and presentation techniques of soft skills‟ integration in reading tasks of Bahasa Inggris X for grade X of senior high school. This research is descriptive-qualitative research which applies a content analysis method. The data source of this research was the textbook Bahasa Inggris X, namely Bahasa Inggris X Semester 1 and Semester 2 that are composed by Utami Widiati, Zuliati Rohmah, and Furaidah under the coordination of Kemendikbud. Data collection was done by using a careful reading and recording of the primary data source. The main form of verbal data was in units of paragraphs about the values of soft skills, integration of soft skills and presentation techniques of soft skills in reading task of Bahasa Inggris X for class X Senior High School. The data analysis was conducted using content analysis method. The validity of data was assessed through semantic validity, and the data reliability through inter-rater and intra-rater techniques. The results show that Bahasa Inggris X contains the values of soft skills, which are grouped into two categories, namely (a) Core Competency one, which is composed of soft skills related to God, and (b) Core Competency two, which consists of soft skills related to self, others, the environment, and the nation. From the two categories of soft skills, in the Core Competence two there are found as many as 366 times of soft skills, while in the Core Competency one there are 42 times. In terms of soft skills related to self, as many as 201 times are discovered, and which related to other people as much as 145 times. Frequent soft skills related to self shows that the authors emphasized on the importance of soft skills development in the aspects of an individual's life, then continued with the social and spiritual life. Soft skills are integrated into the four components of reading task, i.e. goals, input, activities, and settings. The overall integration of soft skills in reading tasks of Bahasa Inggris X is seen more on goals and input. This shows the author sees that the integration of soft skills in the goals and input are more easily and practically done and developed in the teaching- learning process. The presentation technique of soft skills in reading tasks of Bahasa Inggris X is both explicit and implicit. As a whole, 2.45% of the explicit presentation technique is found, while there is 97.55% of the implicit technique. In presenting these soft skills, the author seems to regard reasoning power of the learners of grade X Senior High School that is considered to be able to understand the things that are abstract and to pay attention if they are to understand the sense of the soft skills. This suggests that the author also considers the cognitive and affective aspects of the learners.
