Abstract

This research investigated teachers' perceptions regarding gender representation in two government-mandated English language textbooks used in Indonesian senior high schools. This research aims to examine the perceptions of teachers as users and implementers of textbooks regarding the existence of gender bias and stereotypes. This research used a qualitative method with a case study design. The research involved 2 participants, the English teachers who teach in grades 10 and grade 11. Semi-structured interviews were used as the instrument in this research. Analysis of interview data was transcribed manually and then interpreted critically in accordance with Creswell's theory. The findings from this study showed that both teachers expressed awareness of the gender bias and stereotypes present in the textbooks they used. Male representation is more dominant than female. Female roles tend to be placed in stereotypes constructed in society. The existence of certain ideologies is also the cause of unequal gender representation in textbooks. There is a need for continuous development and improvement of textbooks in order to promote equal gender representation. The pedagogical implications of the findings in this research proposed recommendations to educational institution sectors and language policy makers to prepare and publish textbooks that support the achievement of gender equality.

It is shown how the fortress of victimization then allows those inside through or the people who have been harmed. In this article, the distinction between native and non-native speakers in terms of teaching and learning the English language, The idea that a "native speaker" is inherently more competent to instruct English than a "non-native speaker" is known as the "native speaker's fallacy" as well as strengths and weaknesses of both the characteristics shall be described in detail.
