ABSTRACT
Sa’idah, Lilis. 2013. “The Judgment of people’s Character in the Texts in English Textbooks Grade X”. Skripsi. English Education Department. Teacher Training and Education Faculty. Muria Kudus University. Advisor Lecturer: (I) Dr. H. A. Hilal Madjdi, M.Pd. (II) Fitri Budi Suryani, S.S. M.Pd.
Key Words: Judgment, Texts, Textbook
Judgment is evaluating people’s character. It can be realized through Adverbial, Noun, Adjective and Verb.Judgment refers to the act of judging people’s character. White (2001) describe that the term “judgment” as a system of Attitudinal positioning, is shaped by the particular culture and ideological situation in which it operates. So there is always possibility that the same event will receive different judgments, according to ideological position of the person making those judgments.
The objectives of this research are to find out the types of judgment of people’s character and to describe the interpretations of types of judgment of people’s character used in texts in English textbooks grade X.
Design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. It is used to unfold the types of judgment of people’s character and the interpretations of types of judgment of people’s character in the texts in English texts grade X. The result of this research shows that all types of judgment of people’s character used in all six texts selected that written in three English textbooks. There are 119 judgments which consists of (93) positive judgments and (26) negative judgments. First judgement is social esteem which is divided into three categories; normality (32 positive) and (2 negative), tenacity (22 positive) and (14 negative), and capacity (18 positive) and (2 negative). Nevertheless, the second type of judgment is social sanction; first is veracity (17 positive) and (2 negative), propriety (4 positive) and (4 negative). The mostly judgment used is positive judgment especially in social esteem in the form of normality.
The writer interprets that texts are appropriate for students to build up their character through textbooks unconciously while they are learning. Although there are some negative judgements in each text, but the term which the compiler uses is not too crude in judging someone. Thus, both of the judgments either positive or negative will influence students’ character. It does not mean that negative judgements always have negative meaning and have bad impact to the students.
The results of the research show that positive or negative judgments are good resourches for English teachers to build up students’ character, that is why the writer suggests to the teachers to consider the texts which have positive or negative judgments in the teaching and learning process. It is suggested to the future researchers to continue and develop this research in a deeper analysis with the other theories. They can learn more about the whole of appraisal system not only from the attitude especially in judgment people’s character but also from others as amplification and source.

English Textbooks Grade X”. Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa

Kata Kunci: Judgment, Teks dan Buku Teks
Judgment yaitu menilai tentang tindakan atau karakter seseorang. Itu dapat dilihat melalui kata keterangan, kata benda, kata sifat dan kata kerja. White (2001) menggambarkan bahwa istilah “judgment” sebagai sistem dari memposisikan suatu sikap yang terbentuk melalui budaya tertentu dan keadaan ideologi yang disepakati. Jadi selalu ada kemungkinan bahwa even yang sama akan mempunyai pendapat yang berbeda , menurut ideologi dari orang yang membuat penilaian tersebut.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menemukan jenis-jenis judgment people’s character yang digunakan dalam teks di buku teks Bahasa Inggris dan serta untuk menafsirkan jenis-jenis judgment people’s character di dalamnya.
Jenis dari penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini digunakan untuk mengungkap jenis-jenis judgment people’s character yang digunakan dalam teks di buku teks bahasa Inggris dan juga penafsiran jenis-jenis judgment people’s character-nya.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kedua jenis dari judgment of people’s character di gunakan di keenam teks yang dipilih dari ketiga buku teks Inggris. Ada 119 judgments yang terdiri dari (93) positif dan (26) negatif. Judgement yang pertama yaitu social esteem yang terbagi menjadi tiga kategori; normality (32 positif) dan (2 negatif), tenacity (22 positif) dan (14 negatif), dan capacity (18 positif) and (2 negatif). Disamping itu, jenis kedua dari judgment yaitu social sanction; (1) veracity (17 positif) dan (2 negatif), propriety (4 positif) dan (4 negatif). Kebanyakan judgment yang digunakan yaitu positif terutama pada jenis social esteem dalam bentuk normality.
Penulis menafsirkan bahwa teks tersebut sesuai untuk siswa dalam membangun karakter melalui bukuteks dalam proses pembelajaran. Keduanya, positif maupun negatif judgmentakan berpengaruh pada karakter siswa. Itu bukan berarti bahwa judgment yang negatif selalu bermakna negatif dan berdampak buruk pada siswa. Judgment positif maupun negatif merupakan sumber yang bagus untuk guru bahasa Inggris untuk membangun karakter siswa, maka dari itu penulis menyarankan pada guru-guru untuk mempertimbangkan teks-teks yang mempunyai nilai positif atau negatif dalam proses pembelajaran. Dan juga saran untuk peneliti yang lain untuk melanjutkan dan mengembangkan penelitian ini lebih dalam dengan teori yang lain.
