Abstract

This research analyzed the interpersonal meaning in the EFL textbook entitled English for Change for eleventh-grade students. This study aims to explain how mood types and modality are realized in the textbook using M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics framework. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with frequency analysis to examine the occurrence of mood types and modal expressions in selected clauses from Unit 1. The findings show that imperative, declarative, and interrogative moods are identified, with imperative clauses appearing most frequently, indicating the instructional nature of the textbook. In terms of modality, probability is more dominant than obligation, reflecting different levels of certainty and control in the discourse. The results suggest that the author positions themselves as an instructional guide, a knowledge provider, and a facilitator in the learning process. Furthermore, these findings highlight how language choices in the textbook contribute to shaping classroom interaction and guiding students’ responses. This study also implies that interpersonal meaning plays a significant role in supporting effective communication and engagement in EFL learning contexts.
