Abstract

Course book has a function to achieve the goals of learning. Good course book are those which can fulfill its function. This study aimed at evaluating the text types and reading exercises in the series of Look Ahead course books in order to find out and to describe to what extent the text types and reading exercises in the Look Ahead course books are compatible with the basic competencies of reading stated in the English syllabus of KTSP. To fulfill the aims of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive qualitative approach. She used checklists as the tools to collect the data of the study. The researcher built the criteria of evaluation based on the basic competence of reading stated in the English syllabus of KTSP and six levels of reading taxonomy by Anderson and Krathwol (2001). Then, she asked a favor from a colleague to evaluate the course book together with her for the sake of the objectivity. The results show that the text types presented in the series of Look Ahead course books are compatible with the text types required in the English syllabus of KTSP. However, one text type is missing in Look Ahead 3 course book. None of short functional text is presented there. There are approximately 50% reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 and Look Ahead 3 compatible with the remembering level of reading taxonomy. While, there are 39% reading exercises in Look Ahead 2 compatible with this level. Then, approximately 30% reading exercises in the series of Look Ahead are compatible with the understanding level of reading taxonomy. Next, there are only approximately 2% reading exercises in Look Ahead 2 and Look Ahead 3 compatible with the applying level of reading taxonomy. In addition, none of the reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 is compatible with this level. Then, approximately 10% reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 and Look Ahead 3 are compatible with the analyzing level of reading taxonomy. While, there are 21% reading exercises in Look Ahead 2 compatible with this level. Next, there are only approximately 3% reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 and Look Ahead 3 compatible with the evaluating level of reading taxonomy. While, there are 8% reading exercises in Look Ahead 2 compatible with this level. Finally, less than 3% reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 and Look Ahead 3 are compatible with the creating level of reading taxonomy. In addition, none of the reading exercises in Look Ahead 2 is compatible with this level. In conclusion, text types presented in the series of Look Ahead are compatible with the text types required by the basic competence of reading in the English syllabus of KTSP. However, most of the reading exercises in the series of Look Ahead course books are only compatible with the lower levels of reading taxonomy. In addition, remembering category as the lowest level of reading taxonomy dominates the reading exercises in Look Ahead 1 and Look Ahead 3. Therefore, teachers are suggested to provide more exercises to achieve the higher levels of reading taxonomy: analyzing, evaluating, and creating
