- Abstract
Course books are considered as important elements in the language teaching and learning process. This study was aimed to evaluate a course book used in Preparation Class of Maritime English Test in one of Merchant Marine Polytechnic from three perspectives: teachers, graduates, and cadets. This study employed a qualitative descriptive analysis. There were 12 teachers, 111 cadets and 14 graduates involved in this study to give their opinions. Textbook evaluation checklist developed by Daoud and Celce-Murcia (1979) was adopted with several adjustments and used as a guide in collecting data. There were five aspects of the book to be analyzed: subject matter, vocabulary and structure, exercise, illustration, and physical make-up. The data were recapitulated, analyzed, and described qualitatively. The findings revealed that the book covers various materials, including maritime vocabulary and grammar, but they are not organized systematically. The exercises are sufficient, but some parts need more addition. The illustration and the physical make-up need to be improved to enhance the process of language teaching and learning. It is concluded that the coursebook investigated in this study needs several revisions and improvement.
