CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the study
A common equipment in teaching english as foreign language is
course book. An English course book has an important role in teaching
English as the foreign language. For students, course book can make them
easier to understand and enjoy the material.1 For teachers, using course book
in learning activities can facilitate them in trying to engage students with the
subject they are going to deal with.2 For both teachers and students, course
book helps providing them with the map to look what have been done in the
lesson.
As teachers, we need to be able to develop or select suitable course
book or supporting material for students3. In designing course book, teacher
has to design materials which are appropriate with students’ need. Moreover,
some research mentions that the criteria of good course book is giving
cohesion to the language activity and learning process with the direction,
supporting materials for the classroom activity4.

Since July 2013, the ministry of Education and Culture in Indonesia
has implemented a new curriculum named curriculum 2013 (K13). In this
curriculum, there are 3 aspects that have to be taught by teacher; affective,
cognitive and psychomotor skills. Based on standard point of this curriculum,
the course book is included as one of the aspects of standard quality, those
are: Contents of the Standards of Education, specifically Content Standard,
Standard Process, Graduates Competency Standards, Educators and
Administration Standards, Infrastructure Standards, Management Standards,
Financial Standards and evaluation standard.5 Related for those decisions of
ministry education on curriculum 2013 (K13), it can be concluded that the use
of course book should have content validity, a systematic content, language
use and appropriate graphic design.
Based on those reasons, as a department that is trains the candidates of
English teacher English education department at UIN SUNAN AMPEL
SURABAYA designs on class named IMALT. This class is expected to trains
students in developing materials. As the final project of this class, the
students have to design a course book for (VII) seventh grader that is relevant

Before give course book to the students, we should evaluate the
course book. From evaluating course books, we can find the suitable course
book for our students’ need and relevance materials with the core
competences and basic competences in the curriculum. From the previous
study there was found some book that did not relevance with the curriculum:
1. In Sejara Kebudayaan Islam book for VII grader published by
Kementerian Agama RI was found incorrect word. In page
number 25 printed “Allah Saw” that should be “Allah Swt”. In
page number 11 mention that the wife of prophet Ibrahim is Siti
Hawa, in the fact, the wife of prophet Ibrahim AS is Siti Hajar.
2. In Hanik Sulistyowati S.Pd found that core competence one (KI-1)
in the first chapter in science book for VII grader is not included.

To be specific in content analysis research, the researcher only focuses
on analyzing in one language skill that is speaking. The researcher focuses in
analyzing the speaking since it is an essential tool in communication, it shares
the information directly from speaker to listener, and it is important in
shaping, modifying, extending, and organizing thought between them.

The subject of this study is the students of English Teacher
Department who have taken IMALT class. There are two classes provided by
English Teacher Department. Based on the recommendation from Mrs. Riska
Safriani as the head of English Education Department, The researcher
chooses the class who has taught by Afida Safriani, M. A.
F. Definition of Key Terms

4. Course Book
In education, a cousebook is part of the continuity of education.
With coursebooks, the implementation of education can be more smooth.
Teachers can manage learning activities effectively and efficiently trough
the means of coursebooks. Students also can track on learning activities
maximally by means of a course. Coursebooks constitute an effective
resource for self-directed learning and for presentation of material, a
source of ideas and activities, a reference source for students, a syllabus
where they reflect pre-determined learning objectives8. Here, course book
means the product of student in IMALT class in class B as final project

CHAPTER II
REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
The literature in this chapter gives a brief explanation about some theories
that support this study. it deals with the theory related to course book, materials
development, speaking materials, and core competency of curriculum 2013 (K13),
and basic competency (KD) of curriculum 2013 (k13).
A. Review Of Related Literature
1. Definition And The Role Of Course Book
A media has purpose to help student and teacher in learning
activity. Teachers usually use some media to help them organize the
teaching and learning activities in consistently and genres for four skills
area (speaking, listening, reading and writing). Other expectation to use
media is to help teachers easier in explaining the materials. One of media
which common used by the teacher is course book. The textbook is easy to
buy, to carry, and to study. Even though there are so many kinds of media
rivaling the printed materials of communication, the textbook remains the
major source in school. Other definition of course book is “stimulus and
instrument in teaching and learning”1. Other terminology of course book is
students’ book. According to Jack C Richard a course book is the printed

materials that can be use for teaching activity2. In addition, coursebooks
constitute an effective resource for self-directed learning and for
presentation of material, a source of ideas and activities, and a reference
source for students, a syllabus where they reflect pre-determined learning
objectives, and support for less experienced teachers who may be lacking
in confidence.3
From the description above, we can conclude that course book is
printed materials that helps student to make easier understanding the
materials. A course book is kind of media which helps teacher to prepare
the materials and it can be route maps for both teacher and learner, to look
ahead what will be materials in the next class, and to look back on what
lesson has been done.
2. Designing course book
As teachers, designing a course book is important activity in
teaching program. Other terminology of course book is course materials.
Most of teacher focus on selecting, evaluating, adapting, and designing
materials for their students. 4

There are several rules in designing materials, those are:5
a. The English speaking materials should create the productive, joyful,
and without stress learnings.
b. The English speaking materials should integrate the language skills
and the content.
c. The English speaking material should contain linguistic and
communicative competence.
d. The English speaking materials should be able to optimize the
students’ potentials through conscious and unconscious suggestion.
e. The English speaking materials should promote natural, social, and
moral realities (good character).
In conclusion, designing a coursebook is a work in process in its
whole, pairs, and its implementation. Each aspect of course designed, the
content, objectives, need assessment, material, and evaluation are works in
progress both in their conception and in their implementation. Therefore,
that it can achieve the goal or objective of the lesson.
3. Speaking materials
Speaking is one basic skill that we have to master in learning
English, because its skill is the main purpose for communication. Speaking
is like singing. It means we have to go-up and down our intonation voice

in different level. A student of a music have to combine the voice with the
sounds music harmonic as well as speaking. In speaking, we have to
combine; vocabularies, intonation, pronunciation, grammar and other
aspect for delivering our speaking to the audience. In learning English,
speaking is important skill. To be master in speaking we have to learn
about speech of sounds, spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary and other
aspect.6
Bygate stated Other terminology of speaking, a skill deserves every
bit as much as literary skill, in both of first and second language. There ae
two basic ways, he adds, which speaking can be seen as skill, they are: 7
a. Motor perceptive skill, including articulation, perceiving, recalling, in
the correct order sounds and the structure of the language.
b. Interaction skill, which cover making decision about communication,
such as what to say, how to say it and whether to develop it, in
accordance with one’s intention, with maintaining the desire relation
with other.
Bailey stated that speaking is the production skill that consist of producing
systematic verbal utterance to convey the meaning.8 based on the
description above, we can conclude that skill diverse every bit to convey

the speaker meaning to the audience. In addition, the researcher adds that
someone who speak in foreign language have to know the rule of that
language, like grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and word-formation.
In addition, they have to apply those sub skills when they are communicate
using that language.
4. Core competence (KI) of K13
Based on Curriculum of 2013, the structure of K-13 consist of
organizing of core competency, subjects, the load time of learning (the
whole load of activities that must be followed by students in one week, one
semester, and one year), and basic competencies.9 However, the researcher
limited to focus on the related topic to the Core Competency 1, 2, 3, 4 (KI1, KI-2, KI-3, and KI-4) and Basic Competency (KD) which is formulated
to achieve goal of learning.
The Core Competency (KI) stated in the standard of K-13 was
designed by PERMENDIKBUD along with the increasing age of students
in a particular class. Through those core competencies, basic competencies
of vertical integration in the different classes can be maintained. The

formulation of core competence has its own classification such as the
following:10
a. (affective) Core Competence 1 (KI-1) that covered for core
competencies of spiritual Attitude.
b. (social affective) Core Competence 2 (KI-2) that covered for core
competencies of social attitudes;
c. (cognitive) Core Competence 3 (KI-3) that covered for the core
competencies of knowledge;
d. (psychomotor) Core Competence-4 (KI-4) that covered for the core
competency developing skills.
Although all of KI are important, the writer limited focuses on
number 3 (KI-3) and 4 (KI-4) because speaking skills is related with other
skills such as listening stated in core competency number 3 (KI-3) and
speaking material presented in curriculum of 2013 stated in Core
Competency 4 (KI-4) of Syllabus K-13 that trying, processing, and
showing in the realm of the concrete (using, analyzing, composing,
modifying, and creating) and the real of the abstract (writing, reading,
counting, drawing, and arranging) in accordance with that have been
learned in school and other similar sources in viewpoint/theory. The

writer concentrated on the Core Competency number 4 with the reason
that the matter and activity stated in KI-4 reflect to develop all skills that
support the achievement in all criteria in KI-1, KI-2, KI-3. The activity
showed in every chapter of coursebook should be appropriate to the
material arrangement of KD in KI-4. In every chapter should have such as
project, problem solving, or concluding and connecting with other concept
then conveying to teacher or friend orally or written.
5. Basic Competency of K-13

B. Previous Study
There are some researches that were conducted by researcher focused
in analyzing course book. On those research there are many similarity with
this research, but, there are many differences on the topic and focus with this
research:
The first study was done by LIMSUI entitled An Analysis of the
Speaking Materials on “English on Sky” Published by Erlangga for First
Grader of Junior High School, 2011. This study analyze appropriateness the
speaking materials in course book entitled English on sky published by
Erlangga on 2011 to the indicator course book based on basic competence in

18

curriculum KTSP.12 The similarity of this research with this research is
analyzing coursebook which is appropriate to the curriculum or not. On the
contrary, the difference of this research with the previous study is analyzing
the speaking materials in coursebook design by students in IMALT Class
English Teacher Education in the Faculty of Education Teacher Training in
UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. The result of the study that was done by Limsui
showed that speaking materials in the text book entitled English on Sky
published by Erlangga did not relevant with the criteria of curriculum 2006
(KTSP) since there are 5 speaking materials that are not included in the
textbook.13
The second research was conducted by Siti Solichatun entitled
Content Analysis of Reading Materials in English on Sky textbook for Junior
High School. Similarly, this study was focus on analyzing English textbook
for junior high school. Contrary, this study was focus focused on finding out
the genre contained in the reading passage found in English on Sky textbook
for 9th grade of Junior High School published by Erlangga and finding out
the lexical density of reading text based on English on Sky textbook for 9th
grade level of Junior High School. as the result, this study was found that the
English on Sky textbook contained three genres. They are procedure, report

and narrative. The dominant text on this book is report text. The writer found
seven report texts. Furthermore, the writer found only one procedure text in
this book. 14
The next research was conducted by Afrilia Yunita. This research
entitled Analisis Kesesuaian Isi, Model Keterpaduan Materi IPA, dan
Penilaian Kognitif berdasarkan Tuntutan SK dan KD pada Buku Pelajaran
IPA untuk SMP Kelas VIII . This research was conducted by student in State
University of Yogyakarta was resulted that there are many weakness was
found in the text book for VIII grader of Junior High School.15
Similarly, this research was focus on analysis course book for student
in Junior High school. But, contrary, previous research was focused on
analyzing course book in science subject for VIII grader in Junior High
