ABSTRACT
SYAMSUDDIN, MUHAMMAD. 2023. An Analysis of Idioms Expression in Student’s Textbook "Practice and Progress" by L.G Alexander). Thesis, English Language Teaching Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, State Islamic Institute of Ponorogo. Advisor: Dedi Hasnawan, M.Pd
Keywords: Idiom, and English Textbook.
English can be learned from many sources, such as books, films, songs, etc. English is also a daily communication for native speakers. A language must be understood more than its grammatical structure. It must also be understood for the meaning of the word. By carefully choosing language learning resources, students can use those resources in their daily lives. Idiomatic expressions are one of the tools used to convey ideas or thoughts. A word, phrase, or sentence that defies literal interpretation or interpretation based on its individual parts is said to be idiomatic. Because a word, phrase, or sentence's meaning can vary from that of the original sentence, idiomatic expressions must be classified with great understanding. A textbook written in English is one of the learning tools that can be used to provide idiom expression material.
The purposes of this study are to analyze the idiomatic expressions used in the student’s textbook "Practice and Progress" by L.G Alexander and to find out the dominant type of idioms used in the students' textbook "Practice and Progress" by L.G Alexander. The researcher only focuses on an analysis of idiomatic expression on 96 chapters of text and exercises though Makkai’s Theory. The textbook contains 4 units which deliver 96 chapters of texts.
The researcher used library research to answer the research questions and achieve the objectives. The data was collected through documentation. Then, the data is analyzed by identifying and classifying the idiomatic expression.
The results of this research show that the researcher found six idioms in every unit. The most dominant idiom in the "Practice and Progress" textbook is the phrasal verb, with a percentage of 42,95%. At the same time, the least used idiom is the irreversible binominal idiom, with a score of 1,92%. The total number of six types of idioms that appear are 156 idioms.
