workbook is used by some teachers as the main component in the learning
process. The learning process of English is based on textbook due to textbook as a
key component in language learning.4 As the result, the teacher usually just give a
brief explanation about the material and after that, they just asked their student to
do some exercises in workbook. Without knowing the student understand the
material or not after the student finishes their work, the teacher just moves on to
the next topic. Regard to workbook as one kind of textbook in Indonesia, it is used
as the main resource in learning English. To avoid the oversight from the role of
the workbook, the teacher must pay attention to the quality of the workbook they
have already used in the learning process. As stated by Nnamdi-Eruchalu, a good
English language book must be qualified by looking at the various communication
needs of the students.5 A good English workbook is a workbook that contains the
language needs of the student which cover the main four skills in language
learning which are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. But the question is,
does the workbook in Indonesia contains the main four skills above? In fact, those
four skills are in the Curriculum 2013.
Curriculum 2013 is the development from previous curriculum in
Indonesia which is KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan) or school-based
curriculum. Curriculum 2013 is wished to encourage students’ character building
in order to create student to be more active in the learning process. According to
Gunawan, “the newest curriculum in Indonesia or called Curriculum 2013 is the
curriculum that emphasize building students’ characters, developing relevant
skills based on students’ interests and needs, and developing a thematic approach
that benefits students’ cognitive abilities.”6 Curriculum 2013 is the renewable
curriculum from KTSP for school-based curriculum development. They are quite
different from one another. The difference between those two curriculums is in

Junior High School Student, Kafa’ah Journal, vol. (8) 2, 2018, pp. 155. 5Geraldine I Nnamdi-Eruchalu, Nigerian Journal of Curriculum and Instruction: “The
Role of Textbooks in Effective Teaching and Learning of English as a Second Language”, vol.
(20) 1, 2012, pp. 4. 6Imam Gunawan, Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research:
“Indonesian Curriculum 2013: Instructional Management, Obstacles Faced by Teachers in
Implementation and the Way Forward”, vol. (128), 2017, pp. 56.

Curriculum 2013 the syllabus development is from the central government’s
authority. While in KTSP, the syllabus development is under education unit’s
authority (school).7 In addition, Hasan also stated that the aims of curriculum
2013 is develop students to be productive, creative, innovative, affective (religious
and social attitudes), and competent to contribute for the betterment of social,
national, and political lives, and humanity as their personal life skills.8 It can be
inferred that curriculum 2013 asks the student to be more creative and criticize
about the material so they can enrich their skills through the learning process. To
emphasize the character building, the student also has to learn actively because all
of the activities in the classroom should encourage the student to be active.
Besides, the activities must be integrated with the students’ interests and needs
that compatible with the students’ skills. By looking at the main characteristic of
curriculum 2013, commonly, some of the teacher only gives a brief explanation to
the student by using workbook as their resource in the learning process.
Curriculum 2013 contains two competences that must be achieved by the
student in Indonesia, which are Kompetensi Inti (KI) or core competence and
Kompetensi Dasar (KD) or basic competence. This competence are designed to
the student for their character building.9 Moreover, curriculum 2013 is a set of
learning materials as a guide in learning process. If the workbook is compatible
with the curriculum 2013, it means that the workbook has fulfilled the criteria of
BSNP.
Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan or we called it BSNP is a
professional and independent institution that carrying a mission to develop,
monitoring the implementation, and evaluating the implementation in the
educational system in Indonesia. Based on the government regulation No. 19 of
2005, BSNP have several tasks to be entailed in ensuring the educational system
in Indonesia. One of the tasks is assessing the feasibility of the book in Indonesia.

Teachers’ and Policymakers’ Perspectives, 2014, vol. (2) 4, pp. 7.

In assessing the book, the various criteria will be assessed, such as evaluate the
content of the book that being used in Indonesia.10
However, BSNP is used to see
the standardized educational system in Indonesia that integrated with the terms
and condition. In addition, a good workbook is a workbook that fulfills the terms
of BSNP which compatible to the curriculum 2013. However, many writers of the
workbook that have some mistakes which should be avoided before its being
published. And it can be assessed with BSNP standardization.
The researcher uses content analysis as the method in this research to
evaluate English workbook that published by PT. Swadaya Murni. The content
analysis method is used because the researcher analyze and evaluate the workbook
by using BSNP rubric to assess the workbook. Content analysis is a scientific tool
to analyze the context of particular object, such as the body of document, images,
and symbolic matter with systematic and objective way. Downe-Wambolt cited in
Bengtsson defined content analysis is a research method that means to make valid
inferences from verbal, visual, or written data to describe and quantify specific
phenomena with systematically and objectively.11
The researcher analyzes the
context of workbook which is the material of the workbook that divided into three
criteria. They are the feasibility of the content, language, and presentation. Those
feasibilities are mentioned in BSNP rubric and in line with curriculum 2013.
Based on the explanation above, the researcher decides to evaluate the
workbook for eighth Junior High School entitled “Bahasa Inggris” published by
PT. Swadaya Murni. The reasons why the researcher chooses this workbook are
this workbook is used by MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta, a school where the researcher
has been practiced as a teacher during the Introduction of the School Environment
– Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan (PLP). Without knowing the quality of the
workbook before, the teacher in this school just used the workbook as the main
resource in the teaching process. Because the curriculum 2013 asks the student to
be active, the teacher just explained briefly and then they asked their students to

do some exercises in the workbook. And the researcher also spot some mistakes in
the workbook, such as the typographies and the grammatical errors. and make the
student confused about the information that given by the workbook. As the result,
the student were confused as their collect the information from the workbook. The
school also did not have a team in selecting the workbook and the teacher also did
not involve to do so. Coming up to those issues, the researcher is interested to
evaluate the workbook whether the workbook fulfills the requirement of
curriculum 2013 with the title “Evaluation of English Workbook Published by PT.
Swadaya Murni Based on Curriculum 2013”.
B. Identification of the Problem
From the background of the research, the researcher identify some
problems, such as:
1. Some schools used workbook as the main resource in learning English without
knowing whether the book is appropriate to be used in the learning process.
2. The stakeholders at the school have no team in selecting workbooks for the
learning process and even the teachers are not participated to do so.
3. There are some mistakes in the workbook made by the writer, such as the
typographies and the grammatical errors.
C. Limitation of the Problem
The researcher only focus on analyze and evaluate Bahasa Inggris
Workbook published by PT. Swadaya Murni that used by the student in eighth
grade MTs Negeri 13 Jakarta in the academic year 2018/2019.
D. Questions of the Research
1. Does the workbook fulfill the criteria of BSNP rubric?
2. Does the workbook contain the main four language skills of English which
require the English curriculum 2013 by the criteria of BSNP?
3. How does the workbook help the teacher and the students in the teaching and
learning process?
6
E. Objective of the Research
The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate Bahasa Inggris
Workbook published by PT. Swadaya Murni whether appropriate to use as the
main resorce in learning English and fulfill the criteria of BSNP.
F. Significance of the Research
After finishing this research, the researcher hope that this research will
be useful for the teachers that commonly use a workbook as a main resource in
teaching English. This research hopefully can encourage English teacher to be
selective to choose a workbook that will be used in the classroom whether
compatible with the curriculum or not. Then, this research is expected to be
reference for the next researcher if they want to do similar research. Again, this
research may be encourage the publishers of the workbook to revise their mistakes
in publish the book. All in all, the researcher hope that this research can be useful
for all the readers that read this research because it will give some new
information and can encourage the readers to be more selective in choosing the
workbook.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. The Understanding of Workbook
Workbook is one of a printed media that usually use in learning process
to guide a teacher in giving some activities toward the student. Workbook as
defined by Özlem Ulu Kalin is a learning material that support student to provide
their knowledge and skills which compatible with the mandate of education
program.1 Workbook should be contains some skills that integrated to the material
so the student will learn based on the context and it will coherence with the
curriculum. Sometimes, workbook is well-known as a curriculum practice
resource because it will help the teacher to teaching, monitoring, and assessing the
students’ work.2 All in all, it can be inferred that workbook as an instructional
resource that coherence with the curriculum to help the teacher in learning
process. Also workbook plays important role because the teacher use it as their
guide in the learning process because it provides students’ need that integrated to
the curriculum practice.
In addition, workbook is a resource that require to reach Task-based
learning (TBL) approach by looking at the characteristic of TBL. According to
Douglas and Kim (2014), TBL is used to engage students to use the target
language as they learn through task so the students will learn based on the
context.3 Regard to the existence of workbook that must provide the students’
need, TBL is an appropriate approach to be used in the learning process. The
student will be more understanding as they learn by the context. Beside it, as they
learn by the context, the student will gain their target language by learn through

workbook. In line with Douglas and Kim, according to Ganta, task-based learning
develops students’ cognitive to have communicative skills in language learning.
This approach is intended the learner to focus on the usage of a language.4
However, workbook can be defined as a resource that require the task-based
learning approach because workbook contains the context that integrated to the
syllabus.
Because of workbook is designed to reach language skills which
integrated to the curriculum and syllabus, the quality of workbook is important to
be noticed by all of the teachers that use workbook as their instructional resource
in learning process. According to Badan Standar Nasional Pendidikan (BSNP),
each of educational system must provide the facilities, such as the use of media in
learning process which support to the standardized of BSNP. The main criteria
that should be noticed is the content of material, the content of a language, and the
content of presentation.5
In the use of English workbook, there are some criteria that should be
noticed by the teacher:6
1. English language teaching materials should be contextualized.
It means that the materials that are intended to be addressed should be
contextualized to the curriculum. Then, the material also should be contextualized
to the experiences, realities and first language of the students as it intended to
involve an awareness of the social-cultural of the students. In addition, the topics
and themes of the material should be contextualized that provide the meaningful,
purposeful of the use to students’ target language.
2. English language teaching materials should stimulate and generative.
