| dc.description.abstract | Cultural diversity is an important aspect of learning considering that
Indonesia is a multicultural country, one of which is through the representation of
multicultural values in textbooks. Multicultural representation in books is shown
through visual and textual aspects. This paper aims to analyze the multicultural
values represented in the book entitled English Book for Grade XI (Buku Bahasa
Inggris Tingkat Lanjut Kelas XI) published in 2021. This research was conducted
by adopting the theory from Baker (2012) elaborating that multicultural aspect in
books language learning is divided into four components including ethnic,
religious, socio-economic and geographical background which are further divided
into visual aspects and textual aspect. There are 18 multicultural representations
which are described visually containing maps, images, illustrations, and 61
multicultural representations which are described textually in texts and tasks.
Religious representations are not adequately involved and the least described in this
book, both visually and textually. It is hoped that this research contributes to the
improvement and reflection for the government as the party that writes this book.
In addition, school principals are required to encourage teachers to emphasize
multicultural values in learning both through textbooks and improvisation in
learning and teaching activities. | en_US |
