ABSTRACT
Kurniasari. K2209052. A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON ENGLISH FOR
VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL III FOR STUDENTS OF VOCATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL. Thesis, Surakarta: Teacher Training and Education Faculty of
Sebelas Maret University, 2013.This research reports an evaluation of the materials and tasks displayed in the textbook entitled English for Vocational High School III designed for the third grade students of vocational high school. The criteria of evaluation is based on the compatibility of the tasks or materials with Kurikulum Tingkat
Satuan Pendidikan (KTSP) and the level of communicativeness of the tasks on the
textbook based on the types of communicative activities proposed by the experts.The method used in this study is a descriptive method which refers to the documentary analysis. The study was conducted from January to December 2013. The data of this study is all the tasks in the textbook, English for Vocational
High School III , used by the third grade students of vocational high school, which
is written by Yiyis Krisnani and published by LP2IP Yogyakarta. The study data were collected by using documentation as the instrument of the collecting data. The techniques of analyzing the data on the textbook involve organizing and familiarizing, coding and reducing, and interpreting and representing as proposed by Ary, et. al (2010: 481).
The result of the study shows that 14 out of 21 (66.67%) indicators demanded by the curriculum are developed in this textbook and 5 out of 16 (41.67%) types of communicative activities are developed. It displays most of all the materials needed for each basic competence, such as business letters, technical documents, report, etc. However, not all of the indicators in each basic competence are developed. Almost all of the tasks in this textbook are classified as pre-communicative activities, among the communicative activities proposed by Littlewood (1981), which focus on the structure of the language. It means that teachers who use this textbook as material source need to add or modify the task so that all the indicators demanded by the curriculum are achieved. Teachers can use this textbook as source of communicative activities in preparatory stage since most of the activities are categorized as pre-communicative activities. Teachers, therefore, should modify or create communicative activities to achieve.
