EFL as an agent of change. It indicates that the role of EFL textbooks is essential. Since this study is related to gender awareness and education, it focuses on
how gender awareness appears in the content of the English textbook as illustrated in the attributes of the male and female characters. To answer research problem,
the researcher adapts some theories proposed by Arliss 1991, Porreca 1984, Rifkin 1998, Stockwell 2003, Lee and Collins 2008, and Wu and Liu 2015.
Then, to confirm whether the author‟s beliefs influence the design or not, the
current study employs Graves‟ theory using social context namely, sociolinguistic, sociocultural, and sociopolitical issue in the text, illustration, and
language. Thus, the framework of pre-understanding is presented in figure 2.2. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
