Abstract

This final project is conducted to analyze the relevancy of writing exercises in Communicative & Interactive English for the Grade VIII of Junior High School book published by Yrama Widya and 2006 curriculum in terms of clear direction, presence of examples, and type of writing. In conducting the research, I used descriptive analysis since the purpose of the study is to analyze writing exercises of “Communicative & Interactive English” for the grade VIII of Junior High School book published by Yrama Widya. To conduct the study, I took some steps in collecting the data. The first step is selecting the data by choosing all kinds of exercises in every unit of “Communicative & Interactive English” for the grade VIII of Junior High School book published by Yrama Widya. The second step is comparing writing exercises in the textbook and writing skills demanded by the curriculum. The third step is categorizing the data by preparing a table to classify writing exercises in terms of clear direction, presence of example, and type of writing. Finally, interpreting by giving such interpretation of writing exercises in the textbook whether they are relevant to the curriculum or not. The result of the analysis shows that there are only three basic competences of writing skills demanded by 2006 curriculum presented in “Communicative & Interactive English” for the grade VIII of Junior High School book published by Yrama Widya. There are only 4 writing exercises relevant to the curriculum. All of them have clear direction. They do not have examples. They are guided writing. From the result of this study, I conclude that writing exercises in “Communicative & Interactive English” for the grade VIII of Junior High School book published by Yrama Widya are not relevant to the 2006 curriculum. I suggest to English teacher in order to choose the English textbook which present writing exercises relevant to the existing curriculum. I also suggest to English textbook author in order to present all writing skills materials with good exercises that relevant to the existing curriculum.
