Analysis of Presupposition in English Teaching Materials at SMAN 4 Palu

This study aims to analyze the types of presuppositions in English teaching materials at SMAN 4 Palu. The method used in this research is discourse analysis of the English textbooks used in the eleventh grade, focusing on identifying examples of existential, factual, and structural presuppositions. Data were collected through critical discourse analysis techniques and interviews. The results of the analysis show that the teaching material at SMAN 4 Palu contains various types of presuppositions that can influence students' understanding. Existential presuppositions, such as "The President of the United States," assume knowledge about a particular entity, whereas factual presuppositions, such as "John stopped smoking," assume the truth of information that students may not know. Structural presuppositions, for example, the use of the word "again" in "He came back again," involve hidden assumptions that require contextual background for proper understanding. Findings show that teaching materials often contain presuppositions that are not relevant to students' local contexts, such as the use of examples from Western culture that students may be unfamiliar with. Therefore, adapting teaching materials to local contexts is very necessary. This research recommends the involvement of Palu regional teachers and education experts in curriculum development and the adaptation of teaching materials to make them more relevant to students' daily lives. By integrating local culture into teaching, students' understanding of texts can increase significantly, enhancing learning effectiveness and supporting the achievement of optimal learning outcomes.

Analysis of the suitability level of physics lessons with flood material

Background: Padang City is one of the cities that is prone to natural disasters such as floods. The integration of physical materials with flood materials is suitable to be applied in this city. In fact, in the field, in the Physics subject package book provided by the government, there has been no integration with natural disaster materials, especially floods. To integrate flood material into Physics material, an analysis is needed first to see the suitability of Curriculum Objectives on Physics material with flood material. Methods: By using qualitative descriptive research, using the nonprobability sampling technique which is Purposive Sampling, the researchers took samples of Physics textbooks for senior high school (tenth, eleventh, twelfth grades) used by schools in the city of Padang that use the 2013 Curriculum. Findings: Based on observations of 15 high schools in the city of Padang, the 2016 revised edition of High School Physics published by Erlangga is the book studied. Based on the results of the study, the most suitable class to be inserted in this material is eleventh grade because it has the highest level of suitability. On the contrary, twelfth grade is the least suitable class to insert this material. Conclusion: To improve the relevance and effectiveness of physics learning in high school in Padang city, it is necessary to develop teaching materials that integrate flood materials, especially for eleventh grade, where the highest level of suitability is found. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study addresses a crucial gap by incorporating natural disaster education, specifically focusing on flood-related content, into the high school physics curriculum in Padang City, an area highly susceptible to such disasters.
