The newly published English textbooks for Iranian students have been developed and distributed by the ministry of education of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 2012 and in this article, the researchers intend to represent the findings of a textbook evaluation over the series. This newly introduced series titled “Prospect” includes three consecutive textbooks Prospect 1 to 3 designed for grades 7th to 9th of junior high school. This series is a critical turning point from various content and methodological aspects mostly due to a paradigm shift from GTM to communicative approach. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the English Textbook "Prospect” series from teachers’ point of view and represent experts' recommendations to help the material developers in improving the series. The data of this research is gathered from English teachers working in junior high school level and the population of the research included male and female teachers teaching in capital city of Tehran. The researchers developed a questioner and distributed it among a sample of 100 English teachers (50 male and 50 female teachers). The findings of the research showed that “Prospect” series is evaluated very poor in field of shape and printing quality. Teachers believed that the main pitfall of the books is lacking high quality illustrations which foster students learning. Although many teachers and practitioners participating in the research have found the new series a considerable step forward, it seems that the series faces some serious shortcomings.

Bahasa Inggris di SMP berisi tentang teks singkat tentang deskripsi, naratif, dan prosedural. Idealnya, para siswa diberikan teks bahan ajar yang dekat dengan kehidupan mereka. Kearifan lokal yang ada pada daerah siswa dapat menjadi media belajar yang otentik bagi siswa. Di sisi lain, guru-guru Bahasa Inggris, khususnya pada jenjang SMP di Kabupaten Tanah Laut sebagian besar belum terbiasa mengembangkan bahan ajar yang bermuatan kearifan lokal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini memiliki tujuan agar guru-guru Bahasa Inggris yang ada di Kabupaten Tanah Laut dapat memodifikasi, membuat, dan mengaplikasikan bahan ajar berbasis kearifan lokal daerahnya dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Sasaran kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah Guru-guru Bahasa Inggris SMP yang tergabung dalam MGMP Bahasa Inggris se-Kabupaten Tanah Laut yang berjumlah 50 orang.  Metode yang digunakan pada pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah kualitatif. Hasil pelatihan ini berupa bahan ajar yang meliputi teks deskriptif, naratif, dan prosedural berbasis kearifan lokal Kabupaten Tanah Laut. Bahan ajar dibuat oleh para guru MGMP Bahasa Inggris tingkat SMP Kabupaten Tanah laut. Bahan ajar yang dihasilkan oleh para guru adalah berupa 3 tipe teks bacaan yang dipelajari siswa pada level SMP dan sesuai dengan kearifan lokal yang ada di KabupatenTanah Laut. Teks-teks yang dihasilkan diaplikasikan pada proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran di dalam kelas oleh guru-guru Bahasa Inggris di Kabupaten Tanah Laut. Jadi, ketersediaan dan pengaplikasian bahan ajar yang berupa teks-teks bermuatan kearifan lokal yang dibuat oleh para guru memudahkan siswa dalam proses belajar secara otentik dan juga memudahkan siswa dalam menerapkan pengetahuan sesuai dengan keadaan dan lingkungan di Kabupaten Tanah Laut.  English in junior high contains short texts on description, narrative, and procedural. Ideally, students are given the text of teaching materials that are close to their lives. Local wisdom in the student area can be an authentic learning medium for students. On the other hand, English teachers, especially on junior high school level in Tanah Laut Regency, are mostly not accustomed to developing teaching materials related to local wisdom.  This community is aimed to give opportunity to English teachers in Tanah Laut Regency to modify, create, and apply local wisdom teaching materials in the teaching and learning process. 50 English teachers of junior high school are members of English MGMP of junior high school in Tanah Laut Regency. The method used in this community service is qualitative. The workshop's result is in the form of teaching materials, which include descriptive, narrative, and procedural texts based on local wisdom of Tanah Laut Regency. Teaching materials were created by English teachers of English MGMP of junior high school in Tanah Laut Regency. The resulting texts are implemented in the teaching and learning process in the classroom by English teachers in Tanah Laut Regency. Teaching materials produced by the English teachers are in the form of three genres of reading texts that students learn on the level of junior high school, and they are also in accordance with the local wisdom in Tanah Laut Regency. English teachers of junior high school apply the resulting texts on the teaching and learning process in the classroom. It can be concluded that the availability and application of teaching materials in the form of local wisdom texts created by English teachers enable students to learn materials authentically and also help students apply the knowledge that fits with the condition and environment in Tanah Laut Regency.

This article deals with Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning technology innovation at the junior high school level. The focus of the problem studied is related to what is innovation, technology and how is PAI's learning technology innovation at junior high school level. The results showed that the form of PAI learning technology innovation at junior high school level included; educational innovation, technology, learning technology, development of learning technology, web-based learning (e-learning), as well as the internet as a source of learning with an approach to developing inquiry and discovery learning methods. The effectiveness of this learning technology innovation makes the subject matter more understood by students, because the material from teaching material is discovered and practiced by students themselves. While the response of students is very enthusiastic and positive. The weakness of this learning technology innovation is that there are obstacles in operating learning technology because not all students have a representative media in implementing technology-based learning (online).

The intersection of two lines was studied in grade 7, junior high school. This geometry material is very important, as the basic 3 dimensions that students will learn at the high school level. Exploring and persuading the two properties of vertical lines is the most difficult thing in teaching. Traditional teaching uses methods such as observation, drawing, measurement, and comparison to derive the properties of vertical lines, and expresses the properties of vertical lines in finer words, which easily create greater difficulty for students to understand. This research uses research and development methods, tries to use mathematical software to teach lines and angles and optimizes the basic concept of lines and angles. The results of this study provide specific references to the graphs and geometry of junior high school mathematics.

Problem-based learning connects new problems that exist in daily life. It optimizes the ability to think through the process of group work and experimental activities. The students have difficulties in solving problems. They have little experience and are not highly motivated. It makes them unable to explore what students have. The conventional methods lack of training in critical thinking for students. This causes students to lack confidence to play an active role in the learning process. Based on these problems, the present study therefore developed the Indonesian language learning materials for Grade 7 at the junior high school level using the Problem Based Learning model.
