Abstract

Books of Bahasa Inggris SMA Kelas X and Kelas XI published by the Municipal Government of Semarang 2004, subsequently I call them book one and book two respectively, are used in SMAs in the city of Semarang. Their writers assume that the books are compatible with Kurikulum 2004. Kurikulum 2004 develops students’ linguistic competence to express either their own or other people’s experience, ideas, and feelings, and to understand various meanings. Statement of Kurikulum 2004 invites my curiosity to conduct structural and functional analysis. This study is aimed at seeing the finding out the extent to which conversational texts found in senior high school English textbooks published by the Municipal Government of Semarang 2004 are compatible with Kurikulum 2004? The study focuses on the issue: to what extent conversational texts in senior high school English textbooks published by the municipal government of Semarang 2004 are compatible with Kurikulum 2004. This is a qualitative and quantitative study. The data are transactional texts six chapters: chapter I, VIII, and X in book one and those in chapter I, III, and VI in book two. Unit of analysis in this study is move. There are 437 clauses in the six chapters. The moves were analyzed structurally and functionally. The result of the analysis reveals that only 238 clauses or 54.5% of the total clauses in the six chapters are compatible with Kurikulum 2004. Based on the finding above, I conclude that conversational texts in book one and book two are less compatible with Kurikulum 2004. It is recommended that the next English textbook writers write English textbooks applying more indicators of Kurikulum 2004 better than the books I have analyzed. It is also recommended that my fellow English teachers use English textbooks critically.
