- Abstract
Learning to learn, originally developed in the European context, is considered as a key goal in the 21st-century curriculum. It requires metacognitive strategies to be included into the learning so as to allow learners to think about how they learn, in addition to what they learn. Unfortunately, in the context of Indonesia, such strategies are not widely taught in the classrooms or explicitly encouraged in the educational textbooks. This research, thus, aims to investigate how metacognitive strategies are covered in the Indonesian EFL textbooks. A textbooks analysis using ‘plan do review’ of Elis’s & Ibrahim’s (2015) reflective framework was carried out in an attempt to obtain the qualitative data for the study. In addition, in order to supplement the data, questionnaire surveys involving teachers and students as well as semi-structured interviews with textbook writers were also done. The results indicated that metacognitive strategies were developed mainly through reflection activities. Different perceptions among teachers and writers on the essence and the aim of reflection was also revealed which then could contribute to the challenges of its use in the classroom. Finally, this research elaborates the pedagogical implications and recommendations useful for future language teaching and learning process.
