Abstract

Formulaic expressions are important to make learners more natural and fluent in speaking English like native-speaker. This study focuses on the analysis of the types of formulaic expressions found in the conversational texts of the eleventh-grade English textbook entitled ― Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris‖ written by Otong Setiawan et.al. The objectives of the study are to find the types of formulaic expressions and to find the frequency of formulaic expressions types used in the conversational texts of the eleventh grade English textbook. This study is qualitative research. The data of the study are fourteen conversational texts in the eleventh grade English textbook. The list of formulaic expressions proposed by Biber (1999) was used to analyze the types of formulaic expressions. The result of the study showed that there are four types of formulaic expressions used in the conversational texts in the English textbook written by Otong Setiawan et.al. The types of formulaic expressions are idiom, lexical bundles, insert, and collocation. Insert is the most frequent that used in the conversational texts of the English textbook written by Otong Setiawan et.al with the total 81 clauses or about 69.23%. It is followed by lexical bundles with the total 17 clauses or about 14.53%, idiom 15 clauses or about 12.82%, and collocation 4 clauses or about 3.42%. Based on the findings, there are only four types of formulaic expressions used by the writers in the conversational texts. The lack of using formulaic expressions in the textbook makes students unable to learn the whole material about formulaic expressions from the textbook and It will give impact to the quality of the textbook as the source of material and information. Therefore, the writer needs to introduce more types of formulaic expressions in the conversational texts of the English textbook to make students more familiar with the formulaic expressions. So, the students can speak English fluently after they learned the formulaic expressions of the textbook and the goal of communicative competence can be achieved.
