The researcher separated all the tasks in the textbook depending on the topics. The researcher read all the textbook tasks to find out which tasks are the results. The table form was used to identify all the tasks. The researcher identified the higher order thinking skill contained in the table form. The analysis card was used as the guideline to bring the instruction questions into an acceptable portion of higher order thinking capacity. The results showed that the composition of Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) presented in the language skill tasks on the English Textbook entitled “Bahasa Inggris SMA/MA/SMK/MAK kelas XII Edisi Revisi 2018” are lower than the Lower Order Thinking Skill (LOTS).

There has been a long debate among the language practitioners on the effectiveness of an approach for teaching grammar. Some pros to the effectiveness of the deductive approach, while others believe that the inductive approach works better in enhancing students grammatical competence.
