Language Content of the Textbook Language Skill Presented in the Textbook

the skill presented in the textbook and the language content that comprises grammar reference, recycling and review, and vocabulary. With respect to the big number of the writing and speaking exercise of this textbook, teachers felt shortcomings of this textbook in terms of providing listening and reading exercises are real. It seemed that the developer of this textbook managed to take the emphasize on the productive skills namely writing and speaking skill. As the matter of fact language learning is definitely needing the receptive and productive skills in balanced as suggested by Krashen 1981. On different sub criterion, it was found that this textbook seemed to not giving enough room for students to use this book independently since it is lacked of grammar reference. This textbook also shows that there is inconsistency between the curriculum and the lesson unit presented in textbook. The researcher found that this textbook was not developed with a strong foundation of basic principles in developing textbook. Shortly this textbook in some aspects is positively responded and in some more other aspects negatively responded by the teachers. Commenting on this research itself, the researcher believes that this research stands close to other similar research conducted by experts and other scholars in terms of the method by conducting a survey. It is worth mentioning such as what Litz 2002 researched in South Korea on a textbook evaluation and ELT management. Another scholar to mention is Sadehvandi 2012 who also conducted textbook evaluation by administering a survey in Iranian EFL context. However, this research unavoidably has shortcomings that need to be improved in the future. The main shortcoming that is obviously seen and conceptually may raise questions is the validation process. A single validation process, namely expert judgment, was only undergone for this research which undoubtfully it is still under the standard of validation process. This research should undergo the validation process to test the items of the questionnaire. Therefore, in the future the researcher is validating the items of the questionnaire to administer other same kind of evaluation research.
