Book Review: Buku Guru Bahasa dan Sastra Inggris untuk SMA/MA Kelas XI by Otong Setiawan Dj.

This book is designed with a competency-based approach that balances cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. With various interactive activities such as discussions, role-play, as well as grammar and vocabulary exercises, students can develop English language skills comprehensively.

The strength of this book lies in its clear and detailed guidance, structured assessment system, and flexibility given to teachers to adjust learning methods. However, the challenges faced are the need for additional media and the potential for a rather dense material load for students.

This book is very suitable for use in schools that want to implement the 2013 curriculum with a more active and contextual approach. Teachers are expected to innovate with available resources, as well as provide enrichment and remedial if needed, so that all students can achieve the expected competencies.
