Abstract

This research aimed at: (1) discovering the textbooks quality based on the criteria from some ELT experts and Pusat Perbukuan, and (2) identifying the strengths and weaknesses of students’ textbooks entitled When English Rings a Bell for Grade VIII Students and Bright: An English Course for Junior High School Students Grade VIII. This research was categorized as a content analysis study following some systematic steps adapted from Ary, et.al. (2010), including: (1) specifying the problem to investigate; (2) formulating the coding categories which were the criteria from ELT experts and Pusat Perbukuan; (3) deciding the objects; (4) analyzing the textbooks, and (5) writing down the report. The data were gathered by evaluating the textbooks using the modified checklists containing criteria. The data analysis was done using basic descriptive statistics by adding the total points in each item which were converted to percentages and calculated to find the average score of each sub-aspect. Then, the average of every aspect was also calculated to find the final score which was then rated using the category from Pusat Perbukuan BSNP. This research applied consensus and triangulation to ensure its credibility. The results show that When English Rings a Bell has fulfilled the criteria of a fair textbook (78.6%). The book has several strengths. It provides: many texts as models; materials promoting the local culture; materials covering the stages in scientific approach, and materials covering three domains of learning.

Meanwhile, Bright has fulfilled the criteria of a good textbook (87.2%). It has some strengths. It provides: retentions; tasks for four skills, the list of expressions of transactional and interpersonal conversations, conversations involving different people and situations, materials containing western people culture, and activities in the stages of three domains of learning. This book has also weaknesses. It lacks: materials and tasks containing local and national potentials, the unity of ideas among units, glossary and index, and activities for Evaluating and Adaptation stages in the three domains of learning.
