An Analysis of The Speaking Materials in "English Alive 2" Textbook For The Eleventh Graders of Senior High School

This document analyzes the speaking materials presented in the "English Alive 2" textbook for 11th grade students in Indonesia. It examines the materials based on criteria for effective textbooks. The analysis finds that some materials meet criteria like including pictures, while others do not provide speaking practice or relate to daily life. It also evaluates how materials align with the 2006 English language standards, finding some competencies are addressed but others are not. The sequence of materials is also not always in line with the standards. In conclusion, the textbook presents some effective speaking materials but could be improved to better address all competencies and standards.

Savignon+ To analy1e the presentation of the te%tboo , there are three criteria that the researcher used+ Those three criteria are the !aterials should be attractive, using photographs, dra-ings, charts, and colors, the !aterials should encourage the learners to see language sa!ples outside the boo and outside the classroo!, and the !aterials should encourage learners to use the language in daily life+ First criterion of good spea ing !aterial is that the !aterials should be attractive, using photographs, dra-ings, charts and colors+ This criterion is needed in order to invite the learners to bro-se, as *uestions, and start a conversation and to avoid boredo!+ And for this criterion the researcher found that in chapter one there is one picture acco!panying the spea ing !aterial+ This picture has a relation to the spea ing !aterial -hich is about ho- to intervie- a person or an applicant+ And the dialog itself sho-s the learners of the e%pressions fro! opening to ho- to close a conversation+ The picture sho-s that the intervie-er is getting ready to intervie- an applicant by sha ing her hand, As sho-n by the follo-ing figure3

Aside fro! that, the researcher found that not all of the spea ing !aterial in the te%tboo is arranged based on the first criterion of good spea ing !aterial+ ,ased on the findings, there are t-o reasons+ The first one is that because the author of the te%tboo does not -rite the spea ing !aterial -here it should have been -ritten, as found in chapter #,, 6,, <,, ),, ?A, @A, @,, :A, :,, 1(A and 1(,+ Another reason is that the author co!bines the spea ing s ill -ith another s ill, as found al!ost in every chapter in this te%tboo + The second criterion is the !aterials should encourage the learners to see language sa!ples outside the boo and outside the classroo!+ This criterion -ill not only provide the learners -ith the e%a!ples, but also the learners can be encouraged to see another for! of language sa!ple li e the one provided by the te%tboo in spea ing !aterial+ 0n this criterion, the researcher found that the !aterial can encourage the learners to see language sa!ples outside the boo and outside the classroo!+ As it sho-n by the follo-ing picture, the e%ercises can give the learners a chance to create other ne- e%a!ples+ The !aterial re*uires the learners to practice first, and then they are re*uired to continue the sa!e -ay as the e%a!ple has provided but the !aterial also as s the learners to use any !odern devices or technology as topic+ ,y !a ing a ne- topic, the learners can !a e a conversation based on -hat they have learned in advance+ /ot only that, the learners can find another e%pression that has the sa!e !eaning as the one they have learned in advance, as sho-n by the follo-ing figure3
