Abstract
Tasks presented in a textbook are one of the aspects which should be evaluated since the textbook should provide a variety of materials and assignments to help students in engaging with the language used in communication. This research delves into an analysis of the tasks in EFL textbook "Practise Your English Competence" for grade 8 used by a junior high school in Sumatera, Indonesia, with a specific focus on evaluating its alignment with level 2 subject analysis of Littlejohn's coursebook analysis framework. The study aims to discern whether the tasks incorporated in the textbook adhere to the standards proposed by Littlejohn and explore the perspectives of both teachers and students regarding their experiences with the textbook. Mixed-methods of research combining content analysis, questionnaire, and semi-structured interview were applied to achieve the objectives of the study. The result showed that the tasks presented in the textbook have fulfilled some of the criteria featured in the framework. The tasks provide a good process of learning discourse in the aspect of turn-take, language focus, and mental operation which are supported by the users of the textbook in this study. However, there should be some improvements such as language use, classroom participation and oral contents to be well adjusted for students in the tasks of the textbook.
