| dc.description.abstract | As a multicultural country, the Indonesian EFL textbook has to be inclusive
of the culture in Indonesia while also showing the culture of other countries. As an
EFL textbook is one of the materials the students can use to learn about the world,
it is crucial to show the importance of Indonesian culture in the English language.
This study aims to analyze the multicultural values represented in the Indonesian
EFL textbook titled Pathway to English for High School Grade X for Elective
English (Sudawarti & Grace, 2016). The study uses Downe-Wamboldt's (1992)
method of content analysis, which identify the data of pictures or certain
phenomenon. To collect the data, the researcher used Yuen's (2011) four
categorizations of cultures which are; Big C, Little C, perspective, and persons.
From the data analysis, there were numerous representations of culture from the
English-speaking countries in the textbook, to accommodate students to speak in
these countries. There were also attempts from the author to represent the
Indonesian culture by representing the public figures in Indonesia. Even though, the
English-speaking countries were still dominating. | en_US |
