2. The Approach
The second aspect to measure is the approach of textbook. There are seven statements to measure this criterion. See table 4.3. It can be clearly said that
respondents agreed that textbook is suited to the learning situation. However as a researcher, it is important to analyze it deeply. Based on the survey, the score of this
statement is 2.7. It means the textbook suited to the learning situation. Respondents see that textbook is effectively suited to the learning situation although the score is
low. It is a survey research, therefore teachers ’ statement towards this topic cannot be
proven empirically since the researcher did not conduct observation to see how effective and judge whether or not the aim of textbook is suited to the learning
situation. The second statement is seen as effective one by the respondents. It means
that respondents agree that textbook is suited to the teaching situation. However, the number of agreement to this statement is absolute which means some other
respondents see that textbook is not suited to the teaching situation. Remarkably, most respondents disagree to the third statement. The Mean is
2.23 See table 4.3. Respondents did not agree that textbook covers most of all student needs since it does not reach 2.5. Another negative result happens at the fourth
statement. Respondents did not agree that textbook is a good learning resource for student. But the value of the disagreement is low. It is 2.47.
Most teachers agreed that textbook does not cover all students’ need
Diagram. For sure it is not easy to facilitate all students need. However, at least a PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
textbook must be able to give the most important need for the students for example the need of language input. This study attempts to confirm the empirical data taken
from the survey and textbook itself with the theory. As Krashen 1982 proposed the input hypothesis, comprehensible input is very important for second or foreign
language learners. Comprehensible input means the learners know what people say and what the message is, instead how people say. Let us refer to textbook
