Key Words: Judgment, Texts, Textbook

Judgment is evaluating people’s character. It can be realized through

Adverbial, Noun, Adjective and Verb.Judgment refers to the act of judging

people’s character. White (2001) describe that the term “judgment” as a system of

Attitudinal positioning, is shaped by the particular culture and ideological

situation in which it operates. So there is always possibility that the same event

will receive different judgments, according to ideological position of the person

making those judgments.

The objectives of this research are to find out the types of judgment of

people’s character and to describe the interpretations of types of judgment of

people’s character used in texts in English textbooks grade X.

Design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. It is used to

unfold the types of judgment of people’s character and the interpretations of types

of judgment of people’s character in the texts in English texts grade X. The result

of this research shows that all types of judgment of people’s character used in all

six texts selected that written in three English textbooks. There are 119 judgments

which consists of (93) positive judgments and (26) negative judgments. First

judgement is social esteem which is divided into three categories; normality (32

positive) and (2 negative), tenacity (22 positive) and (14 negative), and capacity

(18 positive) and (2 negative). Nevertheless, the second type of judgment is social

sanction; first is veracity (17 positive) and (2 negative), propriety (4 positive) and

(4 negative). The mostly judgment used is positive judgment especially in social

esteem in the form of normality.

The writer interprets that texts are appropriate for students to build up their

character through textbooks unconciously while they are learning. Although there

are some negative judgements in each text, but the term which the compiler uses

is not too crude in judging someone. Thus, both of the judgments either positive

or negative will influence students’ character. It does not mean that negative

judgements always have negative meaning and have bad impact to the students.

The results of the research show that positive or negative judgments are

good resourches for English teachers to build up students’ character, that is why

the writer suggests to the teachers to consider the texts which have positive or

negative judgments in the teaching and learning process. It is suggested to the

future researchers to continue and develop this research in a deeper analysis with

the other theories. They can learn more about the whole of appraisal system not

only from the attitude especially in judgment people’s character but also from

others as amplification and source.

Sa’idah, Lilis. 2013. “The Judgment of People’s Character in the Texts in

English Textbooks Grade X”. Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa

Kata Kunci: Judgment, Teks dan Buku Teks

Judgment yaitu menilai tentang tindakan atau karakter seseorang. Itu

dapat dilihat melalui kata keterangan, kata benda, kata sifat dan kata kerja. White

(2001) menggambarkan bahwa istilah “judgment” sebagai sistem dari

memposisikan suatu sikap yang terbentuk melalui budaya tertentu dan keadaan

ideologi yang disepakati. Jadi selalu ada kemungkinan bahwa even yang sama

akan mempunyai pendapat yang berbeda , menurut ideologi dari orang yang

membuat penilaian tersebut.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menemukan jenis-jenis judgment

people’s character yang digunakan dalam teks di buku teks Bahasa Inggris dan

serta untuk menafsirkan jenis-jenis judgment people’s character di dalamnya.

Jenis dari penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini digunakan

untuk mengungkap jenis-jenis judgment people’s character yang digunakan

dalam teks di buku teks bahasa Inggris dan juga penafsiran jenis-jenis judgment

people’s character-nya.

Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kedua jenis dari judgment of

people’s character di gunakan di keenam teks yang dipilih dari ketiga buku teks

Inggris. Ada 119 judgments yang terdiri dari (93) positif dan (26) negatif.

Judgement yang pertama yaitu social esteem yang terbagi menjadi tiga kategori;

normality (32 positif) dan (2 negatif), tenacity (22 positif) dan (14 negatif), dan

capacity (18 positif) and (2 negatif). Disamping itu, jenis kedua dari judgment

yaitu social sanction; (1) veracity (17 positif) dan (2 negatif), propriety (4 positif)

dan (4 negatif). Kebanyakan judgment yang digunakan yaitu positif terutama pada

jenis social esteem dalam bentuk normality.

Penulis menafsirkan bahwa teks tersebut sesuai untuk siswa dalam

membangun karakter melalui bukuteks dalam proses pembelajaran. Keduanya,

positif maupun negatif judgmentakan berpengaruh pada karakter siswa. Itu bukan

berarti bahwa judgment yang negatif selalu bermakna negatif dan berdampak

buruk pada siswa. Judgment positif maupun negatif merupakan sumber yang

bagus untuk guru bahasa Inggris untuk membangun karakter siswa, maka dari itu

penulis menyarankan pada guru-guru untuk mempertimbangkan teks-teks yang

mempunyai nilai positif atau negatif dalam proses pembelajaran. Dan juga saran

untuk peneliti yang lain untuk melanjutkan dan mengembangkan penelitian ini

lebih dalam dengan teori yang lain.
