Discussion

Analysis According to Harmer

From the results we have done analysts are starting to read the book, understand the
material, and determine what will be in the value and analyzed as well as describe it.
Based on existing 10 Criteria for Assessment of Textbooks:

a. Textbooks must attract children.

Analysis :
In this book every chapters provide interest topic.
In the first chapter the topic is “Amazing Creatures”, from the topic I think that the
students will fell more curious and want to know about the content. The content is
match with the topic there are many pictures which related to the topic ‘creature’ from
people, animals, etc. This chapter will make the students fun and enjoy in learning
English. For speaking skill the students will learn about expression of opinion,
satisfaction/dissatisfaction, its really suitable with the topic amazing creator, for
example is the student satisfied or not with something? Is something amazing/not?

In the second chapter the topic is “You’d Better Do It

Right Now”. From the word of the topic the students is
motivated to do something as soon as possible. For
speaking skill the studets will learn about expression
advice, suggestion and permission. Its really match

4
 with the topic for example one of students suggest her
friend to do the task right now, because if you delay to
do your task its mean that you are delay you better
future.
In the third chapter the topic is “Ouch! It Hurts!” In this topic the students will learn the
expression of pain, relief, pleasure and displeasure. The students will try to express
their face based on the expression which available. It will make the students interested.
This book can attract the students beside the topic very interested, there are alot of
picture inside and the picture very suitable with the condition so the students will easier
to understand about the material.

b. Textbooks are to be able to motivate students.

Analysis :
We can see in this book in first chapter, there is a topic about opinion. It will motivate
students to show their opinion about something, and it will increase their speaking
ability. From the topic in chapter 2 “You’d Better Do It Right Now. Its will motivate
students to do something as soon as possible.

c. Textbooks must contain illustrations that captivate the students.

Analysis:
This book has good illustration. All of the material has illustration and the illustration
will guide thought of students to guess what the material is. Then, when they look the
illustration, they will easier to understand the lesson.

5
d. Textbooks should consider linguistic aspects
Analysis :
This book use a simple word, so the students will not fell confuse in read it. For the
senior high school it is very effective to use as guide the teacher to teach. All the
chapter in this book use the simple statement. It is a good text book.

e. Textbooks should be closely linked to other lessons.

Analysis :
The contents of this book relate to other lesson. Like in the chapter 1 the topic amazing
creature include flora and fauna is related to the biology. Borobudur temple in report
text related to History.

f. Textbooks can stimulate or excite students' personal activities.

Analysis :
In every chapter of this book, speaking skill especially is stimulate students to be an
active learners. The expression of giving opinion, pleasure, displeasure, suggestion,
pain, satisfaction/dissatisfaction, relief and permission. All of the exprssion is stimulate

6
the students to show their speaking, so that they will not just keep silent, it will make
them more active. By speaking although just little, but it will increase their speaking
ability.

g. Textbooks must be aware of and expressly avoiding concepts vague.

Analysis :
In this book I think so clear. As in the pages 4 explain about giving opinion where
usually use words i think, i believe, in my opinion.. etc, and then disagreement use i
don’t think so, agreement I think so. And then in page 25 is tell how to asking, giving,
and rejecting permission. And then in page 39-40 is learn about the expression pain
and relief also pleasure and displeasure clearly.

7
h. Textbooks must have a clear view of the angle Point of view is quite clear and
unequivocal book for senior high school students. 
Analysis:
After give a material this book will follow with task and ask the students to practice
about the material. So the student will be more understand with the material.

i. Textbooks must be able to provide stabilization, emphasis on the values of

children and adults.
Analysis :
We can read in some topic in this book about opinion, suggestion, and pleasure. It
means as a human life we do not be arrogant because everyone of course need the other
one, and we must be happy in every condition because sadness will not make you come
up .

j. Textbooks should be able to appreciate the personal differences of the

students and the wearer.
Analysis:
This book not distinguish the wearer. This book is suitable for the eleventh grade of
Senior High School. There is no discussing about the differences of them. It is for

8
 general student not to special learners. This book use communicative language so its
make the students easier to understand. Both students or the teacher can use this book
for the guide book.
