INTRODUCTION

1.1. The Background of the Study

Language and gender issues always exist around society. People are constantly coming into contact with these issues in the course of daily lives, so they are unavoidable. In social life, gender difference issue can cause miscommunication between male and female. Therefore, being familiar with language and gender concepts and understanding language and gender issues can help people acquire clearer and deeper understanding of gender differences in society.

In the study of language and gender, there are numerous studies that have described and raised many issues on the differences between males and females in their way of speaking. Tannen (1990:85) stated that male and female have different ways in communication, males tend to use language to gain the status, while females use the language to negotiate closeness and intimacy. Females use rapport talk to build and maintain relationships, while men use report talk to communicate factual information.

giant step towards genuine understanding, so learning gender differences is useful in understanding the other gender’s way of communicating, preventing miscommunication between gender and help to promote mutual respect by showing how people should appreciate and the style of communication of both gender in order to make the equality of gender.

Gender equality is not only a goal in its own right, but also an important means for realizing all the other Millennium Development Goals. Just past the half waymark to 2015, it is clear that it is needed to do more to empower women. United Nation Development Programme launched firstly The Gender Equality Strategy and women’s empowerment 2008-2011 in March. It is designed to complement and reinforce United Nation’s Development Programme's Strategic

Plan 2008-2011, by defining in more detail how attention to gender equality and women's empowerment will strengten action in all the areas of work. The terms‘gender’and‘gender equality’ imply concern for both men and women, and

the relationships between them. Nevertheless, specific attention to women’s needs

and contributions is typically required in order to address the array of gender gaps, unequal policies and discrimination that historically have disadvantaged women and distorted development in all societies. (United Nation Development Programme : 2008)

Kobia (2009) explains that school textbook is important mass media and gender socialization agent, play a crucial role in determining the students world view of female and male gender in society. Supporting Kobia’s idea of

(17)

Women and Children Development (Menteri Pemberdaya Wanita dan perlindungan Anak) states that women gender idea is not represented fairly in ensuring the equity of opportunities for both men and women to develop their potential. It may result in Gender Stereotype.

Gender Stereotype is often found in every part of social environment. It may appear at workplaces, families, schools, or at bigger environment and the effect is usually as defined as something negative. According to Sealler and Beall (2002:44), stereotype refers to the classyfying of event, object, and people ignoring somebody’s individual characteristics and qualities. Thus gender

stereotyped means simplistic generalizations about the gender attributes, differences and roles of events, object, and people. For example, at workplace, gender stereotype appears when women are likely believed to do correspondence matters ignoring the chance that men can do jobs and women can do other things outside of correspondence matters. In families, a mother does not usually allow her son to do household chorus because she believes that those activities are suitable and appropriate for girls’ responsibilities. While boys are supposed to

help his father to do something related to the mechanic activities. At school gender stereotype occurs when the teacher assigns different task to his/ her students based on their gender, not their individual potentials, such as givng more responsible to female students to clean the classroom rather than the boys.

National Education Ministry number 84 2008 about the Gender Equality, those are : a. In order to make gender equality in human based on the President’s

instruction number 9 : 2000, it is very important to make gender equality in education, b. The gender equality activity in education is part that can not be seperated in education activity that is done by all units in National Education Department, c. To push and make the effectivity, and optimize the gender equality activity in education; so that it is very important to make the role of National Education about the compass of the realization of gender equality in education. (National Education Ministry of Indonesia, 2008)

Recently, as the world changes, many aspects are changing in the society, such as gender roles. The concept of gender roles does not exist as it did in the past time. In reality both males and females begin to share many responsibilties together. Many women are no longer stay and work at home. They already have to outside for seeking jobs and their routinities or carriers. And they also have value to help the financial of a family. In the other hand, men are beginning to do the housework such as cleaning the house, cooking, or growing up the children. By seeing this fact, students are hoped to be more open-minded and therefore must be exposed to it. Therefore regarding the fact of gender concept which exist nowadays in the society. It is to lead them to make the fair in gender in order to make them ready to face the reality.

mental process, relational process, verbal process, behavioral process, and existential process.

Based on those background, it is of interest to study the use of linguistic realization based on lexicogrammar, the use of Gender stereotype and Equality Gender in the 2008-2013 in Junior High School Textbook.

The researcher takes the example from Student’s Book Flying Start for Junior High School Year VII semester 1 page 153 :

1. Tini lives in Bogor. She works in an office from Monday to Friday. She

Relational Material

answers the telephone and types letters. She begins work at nine everyday

verbal material material

and finishes at five. In the evening, she goes out with her friend.

Material material

2. Malik is a shop assistant. He helps his father in the shop and serves

Relational material material

customers. He begins work at one o’clock in the afternoon and finishes

material material

around six. He goes home to study. He doesn’t work on Sundays and material Material

Mondays.

Based on this example, the researcher finds that :

1. Both male and female used material process most in their sentences to explain something. Based on the meaning, material process indicates activities or events which happened in outside world of human.

(20)

passive activities. It means that, people are used to think that women usually do these kind of jobs and ignoring that men can do too. While for the man, he does the active activity. In this case, it shows that the man helps his father to service customers to be a shop assistent. Based on this analysis, it shows that the gender stereotype still appears in the textbook. 3. Based on United Nation Development Programme (UNDP), Gender

Equality Strategy is absolutely indivisible from the UNDP human development goal of real improvements in people’s live, and in the choices

and opportunities open to them. By looking this theory and the example above this shows that they are not supporting yet. Because the textbook hasn’t given the gender equality.

The textbook that the researcher analyze are: Interactive English: Yudishtira: 2009, English: Bailmu: 2009, Student’s Book Flying Start: ESIS: 2011, When The Bright: curriculum 2013. These all books are used to analyse the gender stereotype and gender equality appear in these books. And also the researcher wants to try to analyse the used of (lexico) grammar.

CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

5.1 Conclusions

Based on the research findings, conclusions are drawn as following.

(1) In English textbooks of 2008-2013, gender stereotype and gender equality appear in four contexts: personality, family, workplace and school. The workplace context dominantly appears both in gender stereotype and gender equality; furthermore, the use of gender stereotype appears more than the use of gender equality in English textbook 2008-2013.

(2) The use of relational process based on the linguistic realization dominantly appears in utterences or sentences used by male and female. Based on the data from the English textbooks 2008-2013, the relational process occured outside and inside human being and to indicated identification, attribution, and possession.

gender equality to be an irreducible condition for inclusive, democratic, violence-free and sustainable development. As such, it is articulated in the updated UNDP Strategic Plan 2008-2011 as an ‘integrating dimension of UNDP’s work. In addition, the second is because there is regulation from national education minister number 84 year 2008 about the action of gender

equality.

5.2 Suggestions

In line with the above conclusions, suggestions are offered as the following.

(1) To English book writers, they need to be aware of gender stereotype and gender equality because their decision in creating sentences with gender equality in the book will give better impact to both teachers and students using the book.

(2) a. The principals and English teachers are supposed to be more selective in choosing English textbook with gender equality used in the class.
