The present study aims to investigate types of presuppositions employed in dialogues of the Pathway to English textbook designed for 12th grade of Senior High School students. This research used qualitative descriptive method with content analysis design. The data were analyzed by using the theory proposed by Yule (1996). The study found out there were twenty-five utterances of the six dialogues used the presupposition. The six types of presupposition had been identified the dialogues, namely nine (36%) existential and factive presupposition, three (12%) non-factive presupposition, two (8%) structural presupposition, one (4%) lexical and counterfactual presupposition. The types of presuppositions found as the most frequently used in the dialogues of the textbook are existential and factive presuppositions. It means that the speaker relies heavily on assumption, inferences, and statements about existing things or specific facts when they communicate. The presupposition shapes the intended meaning and convey confidential information in the dialogue. Besides, it makes conversation more meaningful and show how language can have obvious and implied meaning. The Pathway to English textbook accommodated presupposition as pragmatic content to ease EFL learners obtain pragmatic competence.
