Abstract

The research analyzed gender representation in English textbooks entitled “English for Nusantara” for Seventh-Grade Students published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This research aims to find out 'how gender is represented in the English for Nusantara textbook for seventh-grade students' using the theory of visual grammar by Kress & van Leeuwen (2006) to analyze the visual text. The study used descriptive qualitative, which investigates what kind of gender features emerged for the male and female-represented image of textbooks for junior high school. The study found that stereotypes are often used to represent both genders, which leads to unequal gender representations. Males are portrayed as having more dominant language strategies and using more public spaces, whereas women are portrayed as having more private spaces and being passive.
