Key Words: Judgment, Texts, Textbook
Judgment is evaluating people’s character. It can be realized through
Adverbial, Noun, Adjective and Verb.Judgment refers to the act of judging
people’s character. White (2001) describe that the term “judgment” as a system of
Attitudinal positioning, is shaped by the particular culture and ideological
situation in which it operates. So there is always possibility that the same event
will receive different judgments, according to ideological position of the person
making those judgments.
The objectives of this research are to find out the types of judgment of
people’s character and to describe the interpretations of types of judgment of
people’s character used in texts in English textbooks grade X.
Design of this research is descriptive qualitative research. It is used to
unfold the types of judgment of people’s character and the interpretations of types
of judgment of people’s character in the texts in English texts grade X. The result
of this research shows that all types of judgment of people’s character used in all
six texts selected that written in three English textbooks. There are 119 judgments
which consists of (93) positive judgments and (26) negative judgments. First
judgement is social esteem which is divided into three categories; normality (32
positive) and (2 negative), tenacity (22 positive) and (14 negative), and capacity
(18 positive) and (2 negative). Nevertheless, the second type of judgment is social
sanction; first is veracity (17 positive) and (2 negative), propriety (4 positive) and
(4 negative). The mostly judgment used is positive judgment especially in social
esteem in the form of normality.
The writer interprets that texts are appropriate for students to build up their
character through textbooks unconciously while they are learning. Although there
are some negative judgements in each text, but the term which the compiler uses
is not too crude in judging someone. Thus, both of the judgments either positive
or negative will influence students’ character. It does not mean that negative
judgements always have negative meaning and have bad impact to the students.
The results of the research show that positive or negative judgments are
good resourches for English teachers to build up students’ character, that is why
the writer suggests to the teachers to consider the texts which have positive or
negative judgments in the teaching and learning process. It is suggested to the
future researchers to continue and develop this research in a deeper analysis with
the other theories. They can learn more about the whole of appraisal system not
only from the attitude especially in judgment people’s character but also from
others as amplification and source.

Kata Kunci: Judgment, Teks dan Buku Teks
Judgment yaitu menilai tentang tindakan atau karakter seseorang. Itu
dapat dilihat melalui kata keterangan, kata benda, kata sifat dan kata kerja. White
(2001) menggambarkan bahwa istilah “judgment” sebagai sistem dari
memposisikan suatu sikap yang terbentuk melalui budaya tertentu dan keadaan
ideologi yang disepakati. Jadi selalu ada kemungkinan bahwa even yang sama
akan mempunyai pendapat yang berbeda , menurut ideologi dari orang yang
membuat penilaian tersebut.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk menemukan jenis-jenis judgment
people’s character yang digunakan dalam teks di buku teks Bahasa Inggris dan
serta untuk menafsirkan jenis-jenis judgment people’s character di dalamnya.
Jenis dari penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini digunakan
untuk mengungkap jenis-jenis judgment people’s character yang digunakan
dalam teks di buku teks bahasa Inggris dan juga penafsiran jenis-jenis judgment
people’s character-nya.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kedua jenis dari judgment of
people’s character di gunakan di keenam teks yang dipilih dari ketiga buku teks
Inggris. Ada 119 judgments yang terdiri dari (93) positif dan (26) negatif.
Judgement yang pertama yaitu social esteem yang terbagi menjadi tiga kategori;
normality (32 positif) dan (2 negatif), tenacity (22 positif) dan (14 negatif), dan
capacity (18 positif) and (2 negatif). Disamping itu, jenis kedua dari judgment
yaitu social sanction; (1) veracity (17 positif) dan (2 negatif), propriety (4 positif)
dan (4 negatif). Kebanyakan judgment yang digunakan yaitu positif terutama pada
jenis social esteem dalam bentuk normality.
Penulis menafsirkan bahwa teks tersebut sesuai untuk siswa dalam
membangun karakter melalui bukuteks dalam proses pembelajaran. Keduanya,
positif maupun negatif judgmentakan berpengaruh pada karakter siswa. Itu bukan
berarti bahwa judgment yang negatif selalu bermakna negatif dan berdampak
buruk pada siswa. Judgment positif maupun negatif merupakan sumber yang
bagus untuk guru bahasa Inggris untuk membangun karakter siswa, maka dari itu
penulis menyarankan pada guru-guru untuk mempertimbangkan teks-teks yang
mempunyai nilai positif atau negatif dalam proses pembelajaran. Dan juga saran
untuk peneliti yang lain untuk melanjutkan dan mengembangkan penelitian ini
lebih dalam dengan teori yang lain.
