Abstrak
As one of Sekolah Penggerak representative schools in Nganjuk SD Negeri 2 Blitaran initiated an English extracurricular program as an additional program to fulfill Berkebinekaan Global dimension or intercultural competence of Profil Pelajar Pancasila (P3). Berkebinekaan Global aims to create Indonesian students to have a mature self-identity be able to show themselves as a representation of the noble culture of their nation as well as have knowledge and openness about the existence of various regional national and global cultures. In line with that the English extracurricular is initiated to introduce students to the English language that is used to communicate globally then later on they will be able to preserve their noble culture locality and identity and be tolerant in interacting with different cultures so it can build a sense of mutual respect and the possibility of forming a positive noble culture. Aside from improving students rsquo language proficiency and enhancing their cultural awareness it will be a provision to pursue higher education. However the program has not been implemented yet due to the unavailability of the learning materials that correlate with the program that is improving students rsquo communicative skills and the classroom teacher who is mandated to handle the program faced challenges in providing suitable material since the textbook provided by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture does not suit the student s and school rsquo s needs. This study was intended to accommodate the school in fulfilling Berkebinekaan Global dimension through the English extracurricular program by Developing an English textbook for phase B or fourth-grade students. It employed the research method of Research and Development with the ADDIE model. Five stages were done including the analysis design development implementation and evaluation. Data for the analysis was gathered through interviews with the classroom teacher and the school principal as well as a questionnaire given to fourth graders. An expert validation was conducted to ensure that the developed textbook was suitable and prepared for the implementation stage. Thus two validators were involved to give comments and suggestions on the related aspect. The final product was based on the revision in the evaluation stage which combined comments and suggestions from validators and teacher in the implementation stage. It consisted of twelve chapters for one year including a school project for each semester. Alongside it was a teacher s book that included learning objectives learning procedures differentiation-based instruction ideas and assessment. The result of this study indicates that the English textbook is ready to be implemented in the real class situations since it got a high percentage in the implementation stage. The validators gave a high percentage for overall development (94%). It got a perfect score on the aspect of organization and design from the validators but needed revision regarding grammatical issues and the content alignment with the learning objectives. Meanwhile the teacher also gave a high percentage (96%). The shortcomings are in the font type chosen and the unavailability of the learning objectives description at the beginning of each chapter but other aspects get the maximum score. For the practical implication this textbook will be a supplementary source to help teacher and students learn English in extracurricular program by emphasizing communication skills since the English lesson taught on a regular schedule only required students to do the book-based assignment. Thus the book that has been developed is expected to meet the needs of schools and students in achieving Berkebinekaan Global dimensions through English extracurricular program. Recommendations for additional research in the same field followed the completion of this study. The effectiveness of the textbook is considered to be evaluated since this study was focused on the development. Furthermore the textbook development for other elements in phase B and other phases is also required to strengthen students rsquo intercultural competence due to the current development elaborated on the first element in Berkebinekaan Global development flow that is recognising and appreciating culture.
