CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DICUSSION
In this chapter, it is described the survey result begin with the general findings. The following elaborative description is explaining the survey result of each
aspect. Six aspects of textbook being evaluated are its aim, approach, design and organization, language content, skills and topic.
A. General Findings
In general, the evaluated textbook remained credible as a textbook used in English language classroom for secondary school. Despite the debate regarding the
C13 and its textbook, the survey result proved everything regarding the textbook. The result for each aspect of the evaluated textbook shows that teachers believe this
textbook is still credible and reliable to be used in the English language classroom for secondary school students.
Later in this section, a table showing the overall result of the survey is displayed. The Mean of each aspect is telling the average of the responde
nts’ response toward the aspects. Each aspect was evaluated by several statements
formulated in the questionnaire. Therefore, the mean represents how each aspect meets the criteria based on the teache
rs’ or respondents’ perspective. Since the scale employed in the questionnaire is 1 to 4, the Mean which is more than 2.5 means that
the aspect meets the criteria. To see to what extent the aspect meet the criteria, it can be seen how far the Mean overly reach the limit 2.5.

Teachers believed that the aims of the textbook were definitely in line with the curriculum and the program objectives. As it is seen from the table, the mean for this
aspect shows 2.97 and is ranked as the highest mean among other five aspects to be evaluated. The second highest mean of the aspect is 2.76 for the topic of the textbook.
This unavoidably shows that teachers consider the topics of the textbook are appropriate for Indonesia context as well as representing different group and
ethnicity. As though aims and topic of the textbook, the approach used in the textbook happens to be one of the aspect proving that this textbook remains reliable.
