Abstract

ABSTRACT Most language programs rely heavily on textbook. In other cases, they serve as the foundation for most of the language input and practice that students get in the classroom. The objective of the study is to find out if the English textbook entitled “Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School fulfills the criteria of a textbook based on the evaluation checklist developed by Mukundan and Nimehchisalem. The descriptive qualitative was applied as the design of the research. The primary data source for this research was the English textbook entitled “Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School. The book was written by Siti Wachidah, Asep Gunawan and Diyantari. It was firstly published by Department of Curriculum and Research of Indonesian Ministry of Education in 2015. The data then was analyzed through the stage of data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing. The findings of the research revealed that; First, the book “Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School covered the aspects of methodology, suitability to the learners, general (i.e., task quality, cultural sensitivity, linguistic and situational realism), writing, vocabulary, grammar. Second, the book “Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School partly covered the aspects of attractiveness of the layout, the point of interest of the tasks and the real nature of the language used in the textbook. Third, the book “Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School partly covered the specification of the syllabus and the compatibility to the need of the learners. Overall the result of the counting revealed that the average score for all the items of the evaluation checklist was 3.8. This score indicated that the book mostly has met the criteria listed on the checklist, with only several criteria that did not really meet the checklist criteria as previously stated by one of the teacher, particularly concerning the specification stated on the syllabus. Hence, based on the table of the interpretation guide for the quality of the book, the textbook“Think Globally Act Locally” for the ninth grade students of Junior High School belonged to the criteria of “Very High Usefulness” based on the evaluation checklist of Mukundan and Nimechisalem. Key words: Textbook, Texbook Evaluation, Evaluation Checklist
