Abstract:
The problems of this research are focused on whether or not character values are found and how they are reflected in the English textbook. This research analyzes all chapters in the English textbook entitled Pathway to English for SMA/MA Grade X, specifically the reading texts. This research uses qualitative research as the approach. Two types of instruments are used to collect the data, they are the researcher herself and the data sheet. The findings of this research showed that there are 18 character values reflected in this textbook covering all of them. Appreciation was represented 16 times in the reading texts, being the highest value of all. To reflect appreciation value in the classroom, teachers can encourage students to create something useful for themselves as well as society or teachers can give rewards to students who do their jobs well. It can be concluded that this English textbook is ideal as a teaching material for developing character values of students because it contains all 18 character values that the 2013 Curriculum suggests should be included in the textbook. Knowing that the Ministry of Education and Culture requires English textbooks for Senior High School to include at least eight values, this book shows that an ideal English textbook exists.
