- Abstract
Bahasa Inggris-Think Globally, Act Locally was developed by Puskurbuk and has become the standardized book for ninth grade English learning in national schools in Indonesia. Thus, this book is expected to be averagely applicable to use in most schools in the country. However, at an initial interview, the teachers complained that this book suddenly brings students to analyse function, structure, and the grammatical aspect. It becomes problematic since the students at the school have no background knowledge of the text. The teachers believe that their students need to overview the function and other distinguishing aspects of the text. Besides, since the book is claimed to be developed through a text-based approach, this study seeks to evaluate if the contents in all chapters of the book have been organized coherently with the genre-based approach learning cycle proposed by Hammond. By the identification, it was found that none of the textbook chapters involves complete steps of the process. Despite the theories that in some circumstances teachers can move forward, backward, or skipping steps in the application of the genre-based approach, the characteristics of the students where the study is made did not fit for skipping procedure. Besides, it is also discussed students’ and teachers’ perceptions towards the skipping step. Moreover, to avoid this absence affecting the general result of the pedagogical process negatively, completion of tasks and materials can be added to the textbook.
