Abstract

ABSTRACT Rizki Paringga, 2025 : The Sense of Culture in “English in Mind” textbook Used by Junior High School Creative Aisyiyah Rejang Lebong Advisor : Dr. Eka Apriani, M.Pd Co-Advisor : Meli Fauziah, M.Pd This study aims to analyze the cultural content in the English in Mind textbook used in English language learning at Aisyiyah Creative Junior High School. The book was selected because it meets the curriculum standards and integrates cultural aspects in language learning.The study employs a qualitative approach with content analysis of the textbook as well as interviews with English teachers to understand how the concept of Sense of Culture proposed by Adaskou, Britten, and Fahsi is applied in the teaching materials. The results of the study indicated that English in Mind incorporates four dimensions of culture: Aesthetic Sense, Sociological Sense, Semantic Sense, and Pragmatic Sense.The book incorporates cultural elements through illustrations, dialogues, and activities that facilitate students' comprehension of English usage in authentic social contexts. The textbook incorporates Aesthetic Sense through activities related to visual arts, cultural symbols, and creative expressions tied to cultural identity. Sociological Sense is integrated by addressing language variation based on social roles and status, while Semantic Sense focuses on understanding culturally specific words and their connotations. Finally, Pragmatic Sense is prominent in activities that teach students how to adjust their communication style according to context and cultural norms. This research concludes that the English in Mind textbook not only enhances language skills but also promotes cultural awareness, helping students understand and effectively navigate diverse social and cultural contexts.
