The use of EFL published materials like textbooks are becoming more widespread as they can bring easiness in the classroom by providing teachers with guidelines comprised of syllabus, methodologies, as well as materials for teaching and learning. However, choosing a suitable textbook for their teaching situation is deemed to be one of the most challenging tasks that EFL teachers often face. To get a good picture of the suitability of a textbook, a careful investigation needs to be undertaken. This study focused on the analysis and evaluation of two different English textbooks addressed to junior high schools grade VII in Indonesia, KTSP and curriculum 2013 textbook. Harmer's (2007) framework was employed to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each textbook. The analysis revealed that both textbooks are quite satisfactory as they are very affordable, contain interesting layout, attractive designs, and clear instructions, correspond to current ELT methodology, cover all language skills, and comprise a wide range of topics which are familiar and culturally appropriate for learners. Nonetheless, the KTSP textbook does not have add-ons and extra materials; meanwhile, curriculum 2013 textbook is weak in providing authentic listening materials. Therefore, although the teachers manage to use the textbooks as their core materials, they are supposed to make adjustment and supplement them with other materials according to their learners' needs and their teaching context.

“…According to the findings, there is a struggle among teachers to incorporate socio-cultural issues into preschool ELT. Most researchers support the idea that culture knowledge should be incorporated into the teaching of languages (Bell & Bogan, 2013;Harrer et al, 2015;Tazi & Wasmuth, 2015;Vaish, 2012). The earlier they become informed about another culture, the greater its influence on their memory development (Harrer et al, 2015).…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">The introduction of English language teaching (ELT) at the preschool level has been widely discussed by researchers. While most agree with ELT at preschool level, considerable issues are faced in learning a second, third, or foreign language. Therefore, this systematic review discusses the issues preschool teachers face in implementing ELT and their beliefs on how ELT should be applied to young children. Using three renowned databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), and Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), 34 articles were extracted out of 85 articles, from 2012 to 2022, with exclusion and inclusion criteria taken into consideration. The findings of this study showcased eight main issues faced by preschool teachers in implementing ELT: English language proficiency, pedagogical skills, teacher perception, curriculum, teaching resources, training, socio-cultural, and classroom environment. In terms of preschool teachers' beliefs about ELT, there are four main issues: Bilingual education, children's characteristics, curriculum alteration, and teachers’ experience. Generally, these findings will guide teachers, responsible authorities, and researchers to acquire an overview of the actual issues that occur in the implementation of ELT in preschools as well as the appropriate measures to overcome them, starting from the preschool teachers' beliefs.</p>

This research is used to improve the story writing skills of elementary school students. Writing local wisdom stories at the elementary level must be taught so that students can get to know and add to their knowledge regarding the uniqueness of the local community. But in reality students still experience problems in expressing ideas in written language. The image streaming method is carried out by freeing images of Reog Ponorogo local wisdom that are present in students' minds without consciously deciding on the content of these images. This research is a descriptive analysis of literature by loading data in the form of reference books, articles and other documents that support the research. As a result, students can imagine by remembering the experiences that have occurred and then describe them in the form of thoughts and explore what they imagine to the reader.
