Bashir., M. (2014). Bahasa Inggris. Balitbang: Pusat Kurikulum dan Perbukuan. Kementrian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia

Based on website exploration, our group learn from: http://repository.upi.edu/12933/4/T_ING_12009904_Chapter1.pdf that a text-based syllabus is:

“Text-based syllabus refers to a type of mixed syllabus that draws on the systematic functional model language that incorporates an increasing understanding of language how language is structured and how language is used in social contexts (Feez and Joyce, 1998; Joyce & Feez, 2012) which is selected and organized around the texts its social contexts (Richards, 2001, Feez, 2002)”

Bashir, M. (2014) “Bahasa Inggris” fits this definition of text-based syllabus, therefore our group decide that this text book is developed based on text-baded syllabus.

Mattison (2011) mentioned that text-based syllabus implies that learning target words through reading texts, such as acquiring words’ meaning and their typical language environment from texts.

Mattison (2011) description about text-based syllabus is organized fit the way Bashir, (2014) organized the material in the textbook.
