topic is chosen considering coursebooks are important teaching tools and
communication ability is now a standard in pedagogical field. It aims to find the
communicative criteria applied in the coursebooks. The writer attempts to find the
criteria application and finds that the materials in the coursebooks apply to some
extent the communicative criteria concerning the language knowledge,
interaction, and language practice and use. The materials in the coursebooks are
analyzed with constructed communicative criteria from Communicative Language
Teaching principles by Larsen-Freeman and Anderson (2011). This study method
is qualitative. The data are from 10th Year Senior High School English
coursebooks for public schools in Indonesia. In conclusion, the coursebooks are
fairly communicative because most materials apply one or more communicative
criteria, except for most materials in Vocabulary and Pronunciation sections.
Further studies can be conducted on the materials suitability with students’ needs,
the language skills and components and communicative competence taught.
