Practice and Production. It is referred to as a procedure, model,
paradigm or approach to teaching language components. The procedure
is straightforward. The teacher presents the target language. Then
students are asked to practice it, first in well controlled activities, then
in freer activities. Later that the students are allowed to produce the
desired language. The process starts with the input and ends with the
output. What happens in between is practice.
This book contains activities that reflect the method. This is

enough and the exercise already covers things that must be achieved in

This book is arranged based on 21 century learning model which
emphasizes on students active learning so in each chapter you will find

revolution
4.0 skills the chapter/unit intends to achieve?
Learning values
According to Schwartz (1992), learning values is a complicated process of
asquiring personal values as motivational goals and principles that guide
behavior. Moreover, values are gained in the process of socialization. In
the chapter that we have analyzed, we think that this book has provide
opportunities for the students to get values because there are many
activities that give students chances to work with their peers.
Evidence :

Communication Skills
According to indeed.com, communication skills are abilities you use when
giving and receiving different kinds of information. Communication skills
allow you to understand and be understood by others.
In the chapter we have analyzed, we think that it has enough materials that
can facilitate the students need especially for communication skills. In this
chapter the book provide many expression that relates to the current topic.
For example, the expression of making- responding to suggestions.
Moreover, this book also provide the grammatical rule to make those
expression.
Evidence :
21st Century Skills
According to asseducation.com 21st century skills are 12 abilities that
today’s students need to succed in their careers during the information age.
Those abilities are critical thinking, creativity, collaboration,
communication, information literacy, media literacy, technology literacy,
flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social skills.
Although not all abilities are provided, this book has led to be there. There
are activites that required students critical thinking, creativity, and
collaboration to finish the activities.
Evidence :
HOTS
HOTS stand for Higher-order thinking skills. HOTS concept is based on
on various taxonomies of learning, particularly the one created by
Benjamin Bloom in his 1956 book, "Taxonomy of Educational Objectives:
The Classification of Educational Goals." Higher-order thinking skills are
reflected by the six levels to promote higher-order thinking. The six levels
were: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation. Students who are able to think are those who can apply the
knowledge and skills they have learned to new contexts. So it can conclude
that HOTS questions is any questions that need students critical thinking
to answer it.
In the chapter that we have analyzed, we think that the book has provided
hots skills especially in the practice section. It required students
understanding to the current to answer those questions.
Evidence :

function(s), vocabulary items, and grammar point(s)? We think this book has
accurate and enough text, language functions, vocabulary items and grammar
points because in this book especially in the chapter we have analyzed we can
easily many varieties of language functions/expression and it is provided
clearly so reader can understand the materials easily.
Evidence :

11. Whether the chapter you analyse has a good arrangement of tasks?
The arrangement of the content of a language course or textbook so that it is
presented in a helpful way. Gradation would effect the order in which words, words
meanings, tenses, structures, topics, functions, skills, etc. Gradation may be based
on the complexity of an item, its frequency in written or spoken English, or its
importance for the learners.

12. Whether the chapter you analyze truly applies the method and/or
learning principles the coursebook claims?
The book use the PPP (Presentation, Practice, and Production) method and the
principle of Contextual Teaching and Learning.
a) The first stage is the presentation of an aspect of language in a context that
students are familiar with. So, this book applied the PPP method and give
students several activity through presentation.
b) The second stage is practice, where students will be given an activity that
gives them plenty of opportunities to practice the new aspect of language
and become familiar with it whilst receiving limited and appropriate
assistance from the teacher.
c) The final stage is production where the students will use the language in
context, in an activity set up by the teacher who will be giving minimum
assistance. However, it’s important to note that the production phase of the
PPP method is likely to be the most challenging to low-level beginners. It
will be better when the book have more guidance.
d) CTL is teaching and learning academic and life skills, information,
knowledge and applications of that learning. Applying means that the
strategy intends the students to use the approach, they are engaged in hands
on problem solving activities. In this book we will see the application of
CTL through the material of the book that related with the purpose, which
is ground teaching and learning in a real world sets to assist the learner in
making connections between lessons and life through greeting and leave
taking.

tasks?
This book use 2 types of assessment task.
a) Performance Assessment: a test in which the test taker actually demonstrates
the skills the test is intended to measure by doing real-world tasks that
require those skills, rather than by answering questions asking how to do it.
So, the purpose of this assessment is to assess student’s listening and
speaking skills.
b) Product Assessment: a kind of assessment where in the assessor views and
scores the final product made and not on the actual performance of making
that product. It is concern on the product alone and not on the process. So,
the purpose of this assessment is to assess student’s production skill and
writing skills.

enough for the students. Attractive illustration can attract student to read the book.
17. Other items?

items for example enrichment. In this book enrichment is putted in separate section.
C. Proposed Items of Revision
Based on the results of our analysis we think that this book is good
because it is in accordance with the objectives of the 2013 Curriculum
implementation. Curriculum 2013 is intended to produce people who are
productive, creative, innovative, affective through strenghthening
integrated attitudes, skills, and knowledge. The strenght of this book is this
book provides many exercises and activities that make the students become
productive creative.

However, we think that there are some components that can be added
to make this book better. First, in the cover there’s no author name, so it’s
better to add the author name in the cover to make this book like other
textbook. Second, this book doesn’t contain summary in every chapter, so
it’s better to add summary in this book to help students understand easier.
Third, there is no inner cover in this book like others book.
example of a book that contains the author's name on the cover

the book that we analyze


The book that has summary

The last page in the chapter, there is no summary

The book that has inner cover


The book that we analyzed not containing inner cover. After the outer cover
we will find book’s identity.
