This research is attempted to analyze text reading from two different textbook publishers, Erlangga and Yudhistira Ghalia in the first grade of Junior High School. Those two textbooks are designed based on Curriculum 2013. The analysis is focused on the three aspects of Systemic Functional Linguistics; ideational meaning (transitivity), interpersonal meaning (mood structure), and textual meaning (theme-rheme). Those three aspects are used to analyze the contents of text reading in those two textbooks. In addition, clause complex, nominal group and lexis are used to find out the readability of those two textbooks that used by Junior High School students. These data analyzed by triangulation method. To analyze the data, the researcher used domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and theme- culture analysis. The finding showed that content of reading text in Erlangga’s book is more detail in describing an object than Yudhistira Ghalia’s book. It can be concluded that Yudhistira Ghalia’s Book is more difficult and complicated for students of Junior High School than Erlangga’s book.

The situation of the change of education stage is an important moment in life of school children. Finishing elementary school education and transition into the first grade of junior high school is parallel to developmental psychophysiological changes which occur in the early adolescence. The need of acceptance of these changes and the necessity of adaptation to new environment and school demands, may be interpreted by students as a developmental chance or a risk. The article presents the results of research conducted on 560 students from first grades of junior high schools in the school year 2016/2017. The analysis pertained to estimate connections between personality traits in Big Five Model measured with Obrazkowy Pomiar Cech Osobowości Dzieci OPCO-D (Maćkiewicz, Cieciuch, 2012), and locus of control in the situations of successes and failures measured with Kwestionariusz do Badania Poczucia Kontroli KBPK (Krasowicz, Kurzyp-Wojarska, 1990). Boys are more extravert, eager to engage and experience more positive emotions in social interactions than girls. Girls, in turn, scored higher in features linked with anxiety than boys. In terms of locus of control, results indicate it is not formed yet, both in the situations of successes and failures. There is no difference between boys and girls in the way how they explain causes of events which they experience. The strongest correlations between personality traits and locus of control were reported in links between locus of control and consciousness, openness to experience and agreeableness. Moreover, the results revealed interaction effect between gender and openness to experience, only in the situations of successes.

The purpose of this study is to find out the contribution of games in improving grammar acquisition of the Yoannes Junior High School students. In teaching Grammar, teachers should apply the appropriate technique and method. In this study, games are chosen to be used.  Participants are divided into treatment group, the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group is taught by using games and the control group is taught by using the memorizing method. Each group is assigned to do the same test, containing sections which involved grammar items. They attended the course, once a week for eight weeks. Each meeting lasted forty five minutes. The material is taken from textbook that applied at school. Pre- test is given before the experiment and post- test is held immediately after the experiment is over. The Null hypothesis of no significant differences are constructed and tested, and then one- tailed T- test is used to compare the score of the games and memorizing groups and to analyze the hypothesis. The alpha level is set. Teaching the arbitrary rules of grammar to students who cannot speak, understand of use the English language is an absolute waste of time, effort and money and is downright foolish. The practice is about as rational as teaching advanced race car skid control to someone who does not know how to drive. In English conversation, get them talking, get them comfortable using the language, then teach them by using rules of grammar once they understand the language.
