Abstract

This research was aimed to highlight the presentation of the cultural aspects of the target language in high school English textbooks. The Senior High School English textbooks for tenth grade entitled “Bahasa Inggris 2017 revised edition Kelas X” and “English in Mind Second Edition (Student’s Book 3) for Grade X” served as the focus of this study. The goals of this research were to investigate what the cultural types contained in Senior High School English textbooks and to find out how the cultural aspects of the target language are represented in Senior High School English textbooks from non-native English speaker authors compared with native English speaker authors. This study used Cortazzi and Jin’s (1999) checklist of cultural types and Byram’s (1994) cultural aspects criteria; Cultural Knowledge, Cultural Awareness, Intercultural Competence. Qualitative data was employed in this study, and the data source was gathered from two English textbooks for tenth-grade students written by different authors from native and non-native English speakers. Based on Cortazzi and Jin's (1999) three cultural types, the Textbook 2, English in Mind for Grade X had a higher cultural content compared to Textbook 1, Bahasa Inggris Kelas X. The Textbook English in Mind for Grade X, presented more on Target Culture covered 188 items, International culture 64 items, and the least presented type was Source culture, with 28 items. Based on the cultural aspects criteria developed by Byram (1994), both textbooks have met the guidelines in the aspects of Cultural Knowledge, Cultural Awareness, Intercultural Competence. The Textbook 2, English in Mind for Grade X, contained more target culture-related contents than the Textbook 1. It covered 50 items. While Textbook 1, Bahasa Inggris for Grade X, covered 36 items. Furthermore, Textbook 2, English in Mind for Grade X, contained more content related to the target culture and the Byram (1994) cultural aspects criteria. As a result, it is possible to conclude that the textbook which is considered ideal and contain more target cultural content are presented in Textbook 2, known as English in Mind for Grade X.
