Abstract

Although Indonesia is a steadily developing country which strives to offer equality to its citizen, controversies involving gender stereotyping still exists in Indonesian society. It is possible that gender is constructed through school materials as a part of the educational institution. Therefore, this study aims to find the tendency of gender role stereotyping in EFL coursebooks used in Indonesian Junior and Senior High Schools. The object of research in this study were government issued EFL coursebooks used in Indonesian senior high schools. Several criteria were applied to take the sample. The coursebooks must meet the following conditions: must be actively used in English classrooms, published by the government, and uses the newest curriculum 2013 format. Based on those criteria, twelve coursebooks were chosen as the sample of the study which was analyzed using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (1993). Porreca’s (1984) framework was used for the textual analysis. The textual analysis of this research covered exercises, examples, passages, and dialogues. Sociocultural practice around the discourse was discussed using Robinson’s theory (2009). From the data analysis, it was found that the text exhibits a strong masculine presence by omitting women in utterance, contribution in dialogue, visual representation, and occupational role. The use of male generic form was also prevalent. The sociocultural analysis shows that these gender role stereotyping practices in coursebooks are indeed a reflection of gender construction in Indonesian society.
