| dc.description.abstract | This present study examines the portrayal of leadership models between
male and female characters in Indonesian EFL textbook. The leadership model style
used the four layered system from Campbell et al. (2019) microsystem,
mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. The data were collected from an EFL
commercial textbook entitled “Pathway to English For SMA/MA Grade XI”. This
study focused solely on visual data. To read visual data, this study used the concept
of reading images by Kress and Leeuwen (2006). This concept facilitated the
researcher to describe the interaction and composition of the leadership model.
From the data analysis, it was found that the male characters were represented as
the leader more than the female characters in the domain of macrosystem.
Moreover, the male characters were represented to have more chances in the large
scope of leadership model. It was that they were represented to have more
followers, audiences, and power in public. As for the female characters, they were
represented as the leader in the small scope area such as in small classroom image,
with the colleagues, and one or two close friends. However, this study found that
the male and female characters represented as an equal character in the domain of
microsystem. For this reason, despite the representation of female characters that
was not significantly underrepresented than male characters, the issue about power
is what matters. Female characters were not represented in a powerful scope of
leadership model in comparison to the male characters. Thus, notion that females
should lead in narrower scope than males highly existed in the textbook. | en_US |
