This interaction is called In daily life, people use language as a tool to communicate . , . It proves that in general, human beings are social creatures who need each other. As social creatures, the most important thing is that naturally they are motivated to interact with other people to express their existences, needs, opinions, and to influence other people . The importance of language includes all of the aspects of life because experience, feeling and idea of someone can only be known by other people by using language . It means that language is used for communication. Language is a special characteristic properly of human or it can be regarded as humanly criterion, because only human being speaks a language. The varieties of sounds employed for communication, the contents or message that may be conveyed through languages are some differences between human languages and animalAs means of communication . , . Ramelan explicitly stated, only means of communications used by human should be called AulanguageAy while the one used by animals should be excluded from the concept of language . Naturally, only human being use language, which is then regarded as human criterion, whereas animals or any other species do not . The possession of language more than any other attribute distinguishes human being from To understand our humanity one must understand the language that makes us as human. English is an important means of communication which is used in many countries in the world. It plays in important role in the process of modernization as an international language to be taught in schools . Therefore, in Indonesia. English is taught in school as a compulsory subject from kindergarten until the University . As a result, the Indonesian government always makes an effort to improve the quality of English education in order to make English teaching successful . , . The purpose of teaching English is to develop four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing . As English learners, they not only begin to develop language skills in listening, speaking, and reading, but also they need to develop writing skills . It means that, those skills are related to each other. There is no higher level where the students have to learn a skill which is the most important, because all of these skills are essentially important when students want to develop their English language . , . In fact, there are many students who face difficulties in writing. On the other hand, the ability to write effectively is becoming important in our global community. As we see, now days, many educational institutions, local or international business, and others ask their followers to write . hesis, dissertations, essay, et. as a requirement to pass their program, it means that the ability to write a second language becomes more important. Furthermore, the development in transportation and technology allow people to interact each other, it means that communication becomes more essential. In order to make English teaching successful, it will be unfair if we consider it only from students or teachers points of view. Factors like the use of visual aids, time allotment, methodology, teaching material, and other facilities work together in affecting the result of teaching . Teaching materials are the key component in teaching learning process. One of teaching materials that teachers use is textbooks. Nevertheless, the combinations of other sources like internet, magazine, newspaper, videos, also gives the additional sources to support a textbook Textbook has a great role in the classroom. As the guidance for teacher to convey the material for their students, teacher should select a good textbook from the named publisher . A good textbook is not the expensive one, but it is good in the presenting materials and it has the relevance with the curriculum . Textbooks are used in different ways in language programs. For example, a reading textbook might be the basis for a course on reading skills, providing both a set of reading texts and exercises for a skills practice. A writing textbook might provide model composition and a list of topics for students to write about. It means that textbook has a great role in teaching and learning process, it is like a guide for teacher in teaching and it can be a reference for student in studying . In language classroom for example. English textbook is considered to be the course of study, the guide on methods of instruction and the source of language. Finally, the choice of textbooks, the used of textbook should consider in some aspects required students. When the acquisition of a specific language skill is seen as important, it becomes important to test that skill, writing is no exception. To know the role of writing ability in second language education, we use ways to test writing ability valid and reliable or not, both for classroom use and as a predictor of academic success. The best way to test peopleAs writing ability is to get them to write. It means that a test of writing involves at least two basic components: one or more writing task or instructions that tell test takers what have to write down, and a means of evaluating the writing samples that test takers produce. Exercises in the course book could lead students to the goal as stated in the curriculum . The teacher should examine whether the writing exercises of a course book are relevant or not with some aspects consider in writing exercise . Finally, designing a good exercise of writing is very important to know how much their writing ability increase. The latest research on Analysis of Writing Tasks in the 2013 English Curriculum Textbooks for Tenth Grade High School Students Published by the Minister of Education and Culture Based on Paul Nation's Theory has brought new understanding about the effectiveness of the current curriculum in developing students' writing Jou. Lang. Lit. Ed. Resc,Vol. No. December 2024: 45 - 55 Jou. Lang. Lit. Ed. Resc ISSN: 3062-7885 This research provides in-depth insight into the extent to which the material presented in textbooks can facilitate the development of students' writing skills in accordance with the theory proposed by Paul Nation. evaluating the texts in the book, this research offers a critical and constructive view for improving the writing learning approach in the English curriculum at the high school level. Research regarding Analysis of Writing Tasks in the 2013 English Curriculum Textbook for Class X High School Students Published by the Ministry of Education and Culture Based on Paul Nation's Theory has great significance in the context of curriculum development and learning. Through this research, we can understand the extent to which the writing assignments contained in textbooks are compatible with language learning theories. The results of this research can provide valuable insight for educational policy makers in designing textbooks that are more appropriate to students' learning needs, as well as assist teachers in developing more effective teaching Thus, this research becomes an important basis for improving the quality of English learning at the high school level in accordance with the demands of the existing curriculum. Based on previous research that has been conducted with a wider scope because it analyzes the overall quality of textbooks for junior high school level, while this study is more specific by focusing on writing assignments in English textbooks at the high school level. In addition, the second study uses a more in-depth theoretical approach by applying Bangsa Paul's theory, while previous studies tend to be descriptive without indepth study of a particular theory. This gap is also reinforced by the influence of age and level of education, where the needs and abilities of junior high school students are significantly different from those of high school students, thus influencing the analytical approach used in both studies. The implications of this study are expected to provide recommendations to curriculum developers to improve the quality of English textbooks with writing assignments that are more relevant and in accordance with the principles of critical thinking in Bangsa Paul's theory. For teachers, the results can help implement effective writing assignments to support students in developing critical, logical, and creative writing skills, which are very important in the era of globalization. In addition, this study opens up opportunities for further studies on the application of Bangsa Paul's theory to other subjects and other aspects of textbooks, such as speaking or reading skills, at various levels of education. Writing skills are one of the important aspects in mastering English which includes critical thinking skills, expression of ideas, and use of good language structures. In the context of the 2013 Curriculum. English textbooks are designed to support the development of these skills through tasks that are in accordance with student competency standards. However, many writing assignments in textbooks have not fully encouraged students to think critically and creatively in accordance with the needs of the 21st century. Bangsa Paul's theory, which emphasizes the importance of critical thinking in learning, provides a relevant analytical framework for evaluating the quality of these writing assignments. This study is important to identify the extent to which writing assignments in textbooks meet the principles of Bangsa Paul's theory, so that it can improve the quality of English writing learning at the high school level.

The theory suggested by Paul Nation are covered in Bahasa Inggris textbook for the Tenth Grade Students of Senior High School Published by Minister of Education and Culture and the most dominant tasks found is guided task. In line with research conducted by Nurfathana . there are gaps with this research. Nurfathana Mazhud and Siti Laelatul Farikhah's research has a different focus in analyzing textbooks, where Nurfathana evaluates the suitability of Indonesian language teaching materials with the revised 2013 curriculum, while Siti analyzes writing assignments in English textbooks based on Paul Nation's theory. Nurfathana's research results show that Indonesian language textbooks meet the criteria for completeness of content and support the achievement of core competencies (KI) and basic competencies (KD), while Siti's research found that 54. 17% of writing assignments in English textbooks meet the criteria for good assignments, with a dominance of guided assignments . but the contribution of independent assignments is low. In methodology. Nurfathana uses a qualitative descriptive approach, while Siti uses content analysis. Nurfathana's research highlights the role of textbooks as the main means Jou. Lang. Lit. Ed. Resc,Vol. No. December 2024: 45 - 55 Jou. Lang. Lit. Ed. Resc ISSN: 3062-7885 for literacy, while Siti's research emphasizes the relevance of writing assignments in improving students' skills. These differences in focus and findings reveal the potential to integrate the two approaches in evaluating textbooks more comprehensively. The novelty of this study lies in the in-depth analysis of writing tasks in English textbooks of the 2013 Curriculum for grade X students, using Paul Nation's theoretical framework. This study not only identifies the types of writing tasks . xperience, shared, guided, and independen. , but also evaluates the extent to which these tasks meet the criteria of good writing tasks according to the theory. With the result that 54. 17% of writing tasks meet the suggested criteria, this study provides new insights into the effectiveness of textbooks in supporting the development of students' writing skills. In addition, this study shows that guided tasks dominate, while independent tasks only have a small contribution, which is an important input for improving the design of tasks in textbooks. Another novelty is the evaluation approach based on modern learning theory that offers critical and constructive views for improving English learning materials at the secondary school level. This study has several limitations that need to be noted. The focus of the study was limited to the analysis of writing tasks in English textbooks, without covering other aspects such as reading, speaking, or listening tasks, which are also essential for the development of language skills holistically. In addition, this study only used one 2013 Curriculum English textbook for grade X as a sample, so the results obtained may not fully represent the quality of other textbooks used in senior high schools in Indonesia. The analytical approach in this study was also based entirely on Paul Nation's theory, without considering other theories or practical views from teachers and students regarding the effectiveness of writing tasks. Furthermore, this study did not observe the implementation of writing tasks in real classroom learning, so it has not been able to evaluate the direct impact of these tasks on student learning outcomes. These limitations indicate the need for more comprehensive further research to complement the existing findings. For further research, it is recommended to conduct a multi-aspect analysis that includes other aspects of the textbook, such as reading, speaking, and listening tasks, to provide a more holistic picture of the quality of the In addition, expanding the sample by involving textbooks from different publishers or for different levels of education is also recommended so that the research results are more representative. A more multidimensional analysis approach is also important, by integrating other writing task theories or relevant frameworks to provide a more comprehensive analysis. Field studies are also needed to observe how writing tasks in textbooks are implemented by teachers and students in the classroom, and their impact on the learning process and outcomes. Finally, the development of the proportion of independent tasks in textbooks needs to be increased, because this type of task plays an important role in helping students develop critical thinking skills and work independently. These recommendations are expected to enrich the research results and improve the quality of English learning in CONCLUSION The conclusion of this study shows that the types of writing tasks in English textbooks for tenth grade students of Senior High School published by the Minister of Education and Culture have covered the theory suggested by Paul Nation. The writing tasks in this textbook consist of four types, namely experiential tasks, joint tasks, guided tasks, and independent tasks, with the largest proportion in the guided task category. This shows that the textbook is designed to provide convenience to students through tasks that guide them carefully. Based on the analysis, the writing tasks provided in the textbook can be categorized as good tasks, so this textbook is considered suitable for use in the learning of tenth grade students. So that this study has important implications for various parties. For teachers, these results can be used to design more balanced learning strategies by adding independent task exercises and other task variations to train students' critical thinking skills. For textbook developers, this study provides guidance for compiling more balanced textbooks by adding independent tasks and sharing tasks. Meanwhile, education policy makers can consider the results of this study to align textbook and curriculum development to better suit students' learning ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sincere gratitude is conveyed to all parties who have provided support and contributions in this research. Do not forget to thank the teachers, researchers, and all individuals who have provided valuable views and input, so that this research can be carried out well. Hopefully this research can provide benefits for the development of English learning in high schools. REFERENCES
