Abstract

Textbooks are the essential component of prose appreciation learning process. Analysis of textbook usage in the learning process is important so that its pedagogical contribution to teaching and learning process can be improved. Improvisation can be reached by enriching material, such as multiculturalism, that reflects diversity simultaneously, to overcome social and cultural problem recently. The study aimed to describe (1) the use of the prose appreciation textbooks conventionally in Indonesian higher education context, (2) the problems occurred during prose appreciation learning in Indonesian higher education context, and (3) the possibility of integrating multiculturalism in the textbook. This study focused on the qualitative method, which was instrumented by critical observation, purposive interview, and questionnaire. This study showed that conventional use of prose appreciation learning textbooks in Indonesia higher education context indicated that the textbooks need more enrichment; material, resources, and updated issues toward prose fiction at the present. Second, the students showed passive attention on learning process because of limited coverage in common Prose Appreciation textbooks they read. Third, the lecturers and the students interested in the possibility of integrating multiculturalism in their textbook, and felt that the supplements would give them many practical experiences and widely open their mind towards multicultural issue.
