ix ABSTRACT

Lestari, Arum Wahyu. 2013. The Process Types Used in the “Active English” Textbook for the Fifth Grade Students of Elementary School. Skripsi: English Education Department, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisors: (1) Dr. H. Ahmad Hilal Madjdi M.Pd (2) Atik Rohayani S.Pd, M.Pd

Keywords: Process Types, Textbook

Textbook is one of the learning sources that can be used to transfer knowledge within learning process. As a learning source, a textbook should have certain criteria such as being appropriate with curriculum and understandable. Recently, besides those criteria, there have been many publishers competing each other to produce attractive, innovative, and creative textbooks. It is textbook that is the most popular among teachers for educating their students. Some textbooks already have characteristic above and Active English 5 is one of them. This English textbook is used in many elementary schools. This textbook is designed to introduce the students of grade five to first words of English.

This research aims at finding out what process types are used in textbook the Active English Textbook for the Fifth Grade Students of Elementary Schools and how is the interpretation process type used in it.

This belongs to a qualitative research. It analyses the process types in the Active English textbook. There are twelve texts in this textbook, so that the writer has analyzed whole the texts.

There are 6 process types found with 176 clauses of process types. These include material process 47 clauses, mental process 25 clauses, behavioural process 19 clauses, verbal process 2 clauses, relational process 63 clauses, and existential process 20 clauses. From the current analysis, relational process is the most dominant one in the textbook Active English 5 for the Fifth Grade Students of Elementary Schools.

Therefore, the writer would like to give some suggestions for teachers, and further researchers formulated as follows; (1) for teachers especially English teachers, they should understand more about process types. It is in order to use and distinguish processes type to find out the context of text. By having knowledge of transitivity the teachers hopefully can distinguish the proper text in a textbook to become their material in teaching and learning. (2) for further researchers: the writer hopes that anyone who intend to conduct further research on the similar topic can take benefit from this research result to support their research. She also hopes that further researchers who want to conduct a similar research as the writer did, he or she can use this research as additional references to sustain the research. The researcher hopes that the next researcher also develop their study not only in analyzing process type but also analyzing register variables in other clause sources or may compare process type in other book or textbook; native or non native discourse.

x ABSTRAKSI

Lestari, Arum Wahyu. 2013.Tipe Proses yang Digunakan dalam Buku Teks “Active English” untuk Murid Kelas Lima Sekolah Dasar . Skripsi: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Kependidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing : (1) Dr. H. Ahmad Hilal Madjdi M.Pd (2) Atik Rohayani S.Pd, M.Pd

Kata kunci: Tipe Proses , Buku Teks

Buku teks merupakan salah satu sumber ajar yang dapat digunakan dalam mentransfer ilmu atau pengetahuan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Buku teks sebagai sumber belajar harus memiliki criteria; sesuai dengan kurikulum, mudah dipahami. Di zaman sekarang ini,selain criteria tersebut, banyak para penerbit yang berlomba menciptakan buku teks yang attraktif, innovative dan kreatif. Buku teks seperti inilah yang paling banyak diminati guru untuk sumber mendidik siswa. Beberapa buku teks memenuhi criteria diatas dan Active English 5 merupkan salah satunya yang banyak digunakan di Sekolah dasar. Buku teks ini didesain untuk memperkenalkan siswa kelas lima dengan kata dalam dengan Bahasa Inggris.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tipe proses apa saja yang digunakan serta bagaimana interpretasi proses yang digunakan dalam buku teks Active English 5 untuk kelas 5 Sekolah Dasar.

Penelitian ini adalah kualitatif. Penelitian ini mengalisa process types pada teks yang terdapat dalam Active English textbook, ada 12 teks yang ditemukan dalam buku teks ini, sehingga penulis menganalisis seluruh teks.

Ada 6 jenis process types yang ditemukan dalam 176 kalusa, mereka adalah material proses 47 klausa, mental proses 25 klausa, verbal proses 2 klausa, behavioural proses 19 klausa, relational proses 63 klausa dan existential proses 20 klausa. Sehingga dalam analisis tersebut relational proses merupakan proses yang sering digunakan dan paling dominant dalam buku teks active English 5 untuk murid kelas 5 Sekolah Dasar.

Oleh sebab itu, penulis menyampaikan beberapa saran yang ditujukan kepada mahasiswa, dosen, guru dan peneliti selanjutnya yang dirumuskan sebagai berikut; (1) untuk guru bahasa Inggris terutama guru Bahasa Inggris untuk lebih memahami dan membedakan konteks tiap teks yang terdapat dalam buku teks tersebut melalui process type. Sehingga guru disarankan dapat menentukan buku teks yang cocok untuk peserta didik (2) untuk peneliti selanjutnya yang melakukan penelitian sejenis dengan yang peneliti lakukan supaya penelitian ini bermanfaat sebagai sumber tambahan untuk menyokong penelitian selanjutnya. Peneliti juga berharap bahwa penelitian selanjutnya mampu mengembangkan penelitian mereka tidak hanya tentang process type yang berada dalam buku teks dalam variable klausa yang berbeda atau dilain sumber data seperti dalam wacana atau buku native maupun yang bukan native.
