Cultural Content Analysis of English Textbook on Merdeka Curriculum
- Bagikan:
The objective of this research was to investigate the cultural content found in the English textbook titled "Bright an English" published by Erlangga in 2022, designed for seventh-grade junior high school students. The main focus of this research is to analyze the cultural content in the textbook using the framework developed by Chao for different types of culture, as well as the framework by Yuen for Islamic cultural dimensions. This research used content analysis method. Based on the investigation, the researcher found that the textbook primarily emphasizes the promotion of Indonesian culture, which serves as the source culture, accounts for 49% of the content in the textbook. The representation of the source culture is predominantly through the dimension of products, which includes names of places, tourist destinations, traditional food, currency, art forms, and Indonesian clothing. In contrast, the target culture, which includes cultures from countries such as the USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, accounts for 23% of the content, while the international culture, represented by cultures from countries like Malaysia, Japan, Spain, Singapore, Brazil, and China, comprises 22%. Notably, intercultural interaction has the smallest representation, accounting for only 1% of the content. This is conveyed through activities involving the creation of mini projects that explore and examine the differences or similarities between the local/source culture and the target/international culture. Similarly, Islamic culture holds a relatively small portion, accounting for 5% of the content. It is presented through various dimensions, including products, practices, and persons associated with Islamic culture. Additionally, each cultural aspect in this textbook is related to the goal of the Merdeka curriculum, which aims to strengthen the Pancasila student profile such as having faith and fear of God Almighty, possessing noble character, being self-reliant, promoting mutual assistance, embracing global diversity, and cultivating critical thinking and creativity. Furthermore, this textbook covers all 21st-century skills, including life and career skills, learning and innovation skills, and information, media, and technology skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that the "Bright an English" textbook is not only rich in diverse cultures but also aligns with the characteristics and goals of the Merdeka curriculum as well as the 21st-century skills.
