BACKGROUND
Background of the Study
In today's era of modernization of education is a necessity for the public to
communication. Language education is one means of communication in society.
English is one language that is used throughout the world. In fact, it is important
in the modern era like now to learn the English language to communicate with
each other.
English a foreign language, as we need a lot of references to learn. In
education, instead of teaching a language teacher should also teach culture. The
teacher should also consider the needs of their students in learning the English
language. A teacher should adjust the usefulness of the language for their future.
For example; a teacher who teaches in a public school, will be different from the
teacher teaching a vocational school (SMK /MAK). To support this kind of
learning course book is required. In choosing a course book, the teacher should
also notice the level of course book, course book used, the type of material,
written is in the book, etc. (Alan cunningswort, 1995)
English in vocation school (SMK/MAK) has a fairly focused context, but
vocational school itself has several kinds of majors, such as engineering, and
secretary. And here is not to clearly differentiate the curriculum for English
language education, both for mechanical engineering at vocational school, or even
a secretary. The effectiveness of the student to learn the language, eventually
located to the teacher creativity, whether the teacher will add additional material
to accommodate the needs of students specific to vocational school, or the teacher
will modify the context of the material to be taught to fit the needs of students.
The book will also be of interest to teacher trainers and to those under
taking training course for EFL or ESL. A need-analysis survey of teacher training

in TEFL/TESL showed that employing institutions and others with an interest in

the content of teacher training courses considered course book evaluation to be
one of the most important components of a teacher training course (Alan
cunningswort, 1995)
Based on these problems, then the teacher should really selective in
choosing a course book for students. This study aims to determine the use and
usefulness of English course books in the vocational school. The teacher should
know what is in need of their students.
