Abstract

Critical thinking is essential and becomes one of education objectives; however the previous studies showed that students have no it sufficiently since the material particularly textbook used in learning process do not accommodate them to think critically in English class. There is a scarcity of research on investigation of critical thinking elements in junior high school English textbook. Thus, this study explores to what extent English textbook of grade 8, When English Rings a Bell, provides the critical thinking elements. This study employed content analysis by addressing a framework developed by Ilyas. His framework consisted of critical thinking activities, task, or questions. The findings suggested that the junior high school English textbook provided a few critical thinking tasks or questions. It was dominated by textually-explicit tasks or questions which do not stimulate students to think critically. The implication of this study is discussed further.
