- Abstract
Gender stereotyping in educational textbooks and language textbooks can have a particular influence on how students and teachers perceive gender roles. Much empirical evidence has been reported regarding gender stereotyping in language textbooks, but little is known about how this issue is examined discursively through an interdisciplinary approach. Informed by two theories, Language Sexism and Visual Narrative Representation, the present study investigates the representation of gender stereotyping in two junior high school English language textbooks used in Indonesian schools. The findings show that both textbooks portray gender stereotypes in which the social role of males is more predominantly presented compared to its female counterpart in both visualizations and written texts. This study implies that language textbook writers need to have a greater critical awareness of gender stereotyping when designing language textbooks.
