Abstract

Textbook plays important roles in teaching learning process so that education goals could be achieved. In fact, there have been a lot of vocational schools that cannot provide reliable textbooks, which are research-based and appropriate to students’ needs as well as industry’s needs. This is one of the factors that the graduates of vocational school could not communicate well, and many of them are jobless especially for jobs that require English skill. Therefore, the textbook which is related to the department in vocational school is really needed. However, there has been a book that covers this needs. This research aims to find whether the book has already provided an authentic assessment as a tool to assess the students’ real competence or not. The research method applied was descriptive. Meanwhile, the instrument used was document analysis. The results indicated that the book applies an authentic assessment for three skills: reading, writing, and speaking. However, among the three skills, reading is the activity which is rarely assessed using authentic assessment.
