Abstract

This research is a criticism of the contents of "Hanyu Jiaocheng" the textbook used in learning Mandarin in Indonesia. Along with the rise of Mandarin Fever in the world, also in Indonesia, learning foreign languages including Mandarin is increasingly becoming the top choice for Indonesian people. Since the number of those interested in learning Mandarin is very large, and because of the lack of availability of teaching materials in Indonesia, led some educational institutions to use textbooks from China. The book entitled "Hanyu Jiaocheng" became one of the most widely used books in Indonesia. This book is a choice of learning resources because it is a complete book for 4 competencies. The weakness of this book according to the author, because it comes from outside Indonesia, there is a discrepancy with Indonesian culture. The author takes one example of the discrepancy , that is the culture of drinking beer or alcoholic beverages. In Indonesia, drinking alcoholic beverages is something that is not worth talking about in public, especially in teaching and learning processes. But this study shows the word beer itself is mentioned very frequently in "Hanyu Jiaocheng". The author provides suggestions that can be used to anticipate when they find the words "drink beer" in the textbook. This method is expected to reduce the taboo level in teaching and learning process, so that there are no misunderstandings and cultural gaps.
