INTEGRATING LOCAL VALUES IN ENGLISH TEXTBOOKS
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the values promoted in language textbooks for high school students. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were employed to elicit the different values contained in the textbooks. Words, phrases, and statements that denote or signify values were abstracted and coded from the materials. Interestingly, six significant themes on values emerged from the study, namely: personal, social, environmental, educational, spiritual, and moral values. These values were compared to the prescribed values curriculum to reveal relationships; and analysis on the aspect of content, presentation, and function was explored. Results of the observations and analysis were presented and implications to English instructional material development were noted.
