INTRODUCTION
Textbooks are one of the supports in the process of teaching and learning in the classroom.According to Richard in Dharma & Aristo (2018) said that textbooks are learning resources that are used to stimulate cognitive processes and support learning by providing structure and development for students.Whereas in the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2016 Article 1, "Textbooks are the principal learning source for achieving the basic competence and core competence and declared appropriate by the Ministry of Education and Culture to be used in educational unit.Researchers working within this line of inquiry view textbooks first and foremost as pedagogic tools, that is, materials that through their design aim to facilitate the teaching and learning of languages.As such, evaluation has typically been restricted to the methodological elements of textbooks and their linguistic content, frequently for a particular course or program.
Textbook is certainly one of coaching sources this is used to guide learning via stimulating cognitive procedures and providing structure and development for newbies to comply with usually, textbooks convey critical pedagogic capabilities: a curricular component, developing a progression in a sure problem taught to students, and a conceptual component, embodying the development of cognitive structures inside the learner (Van Dormolen, 1986).The former is pondered in general in the choice of content material and the sequencing of topics to be blanketed within the textbook; the latter publications the presentation of this content, the responsibilities for students protected inside the textook, and the steering supplied for teachers in teacher courses.
Textbooks have teaching materials that are in accordance with the curriculum.Curriculum is a set of policies that comprise goals, content, and gaining knowledge of substances as a tenet for organizing gaining knowledge of sports.The existence of a curriculum aims to reap a better satisfactory education (Cunningsworth, 1984).Likewise with the aim of an impartial curriculum.In Indonesia itself, the curriculum has modified several instances, which started out in 1947.In February 2022, the Minister of schooling and way of life launched a new curriculum referred to as the Merdeka Curriculum.In the global of education, the curriculum is very essential.without the right curriculum, students will now not get the appropriate mastering targets.Of route, everything is adjusted to the needs of college students in their respective eras.In well known, an independent curriculum is an expansion of intra curricular studying curricula.in which the content material might be extra top-rated so that students have a protracted time period to explore ideas and make stronger competence.Later, the trainer has the strength to pick out various coaching gear in order that gaining knowledge of can be adapted to the gaining knowledge of needs and hobbies of students.This curriculum is to reinforce the achievement of Pancasila student profiles advanced based totally on certain subject matters set by the authorities.In which the assignment is not directed to obtain certain mastering fulfillment targets, so it isn't always tied to subject content (Elo & Kyngias, 2008).
Textbooks have made several attempts to analyze the examples in there From the data analysis, it found that both of the textbooks had a good physical appearance and content, but they did not provide the support aids.However, both of the textbooks provide the criteria of good textbooks for young learners.So, it can be concluded that both of the textbook appropriate with young learners characteristic.There is also a difference between the independent curriculum and the previous curriculum at the elementary level, namely that there is a separation between science and social studies subjects.Meanwhile, in the prototype curriculum, these two subjects were combined into one subject to become Natural and Social Sciences.The purpose of combining these subjects is preparation when students continue their education at the junior high school level (Sulistyani, 2017).The concept of an unbiased curriculum has similarities with the concept of notion freedom schooling with the aid of Paulo Freire, this may be seen from the similarity of desires particularly humanization completed to offer freedom of opinion and deep questioning learning process wherein at this point training have to be able to convey human beings to internal and outer independence (Suyanto & Kasihani, 2014).

Moreover, a textbook, according to Tomlinson (2011), is a book that has all of the necessary parts for a language class.It is intended to contain as much material as possible in a single volume and to be the only book that students are required to use during a course.This type of book frequently covers grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, functions, and reading, writing, listening, and speaking abilities.As we can see from the textbook used in schools for English language learning, it is critical that those language skills and components be included in a textbook, as mentioned in the curriculum for English language learning regarding the acquisition of the language skills and components.
