RESEARCH PURPOSE : This research is intended to know whether the materials in the English Textbook for second grade student senior high school compatible with Tomlinson’s (2011) principles.
RESEARCH SUBJECT : Second Grade Students At Senior High School
ASSEMENT DATA : Content Analysis
METODE PENELITIAN : Qualitative Content Analysis
RESEARCH STEPS : Textbook Analysis is a research method for making replicable and valid inferences from data to their context, with the purpose of providing knowledge, new insights, a representation of facts and a practical guide to action. The aim is to attain a condensed and broad description of the phenomenon, and the outcome of the analysis is concepts or categories describing the phenomenon. Usually the purpose of those concepts or categories is to build up a model, conceptual system, conceptual map or categories. The researcher makes a choice between the terms ‘concept’ and ‘category’ and uses one or the other.
RESEARCH RESULT :

1. Principle materials development no 5 “materials should require & facilitate learners’ self-investment”
2. Principle materials development no 6 “learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught“.
3. Principles material development no 8 “The learners attention should be drawn to linguistic features of the input”.
4. Principle material development no 9 “materials should provide learners with opportunities to use target language to achieve communicative purposes.
5. Materials should take into account that the positive effects of instruction are usually delayed.
6. Principle material development no 12 “materials should take in account that learners differ in affective attitudes”.
7. Principle material no 15 “materials should not rely too much on controlled practice”.
8. Principle materials development no 16 “materials should provide opportunities for outcome feedback, especially feedback on the effectiveness of use of language rather than accuracy of language.
   DISANVANTAGES REASEARCH : Textbook Analysis, it is possible to distil words into fewer content related categories. It is assumed that when classified into the same categories, words, phrases and the likes share the same meaning.
   ADVANTAGES RESEARCH : Textbook Analysis is a research technique for making replicable and valid inferences from texts (or other meaningful matter) to the context of they used. As a technique, textbook Analysis involves specialized procedure. It is learnable and divorceable from the personal authority of the researcher. As a research technique also, the textbook Analysis provides new insights, increases researcher understanding of particular phenomena, or inform practical actions.
   CONCLUSION : This research was done in order to assess the content of the “English textbook for second grade student senior high school” in some chapter by using of the principles material development composed by Tomlinson (2011), this principles present 16 principles. In this research, the researcher find 8 principles of 18 principles Tomlinson (2011), 8 principle include 1) principle materials development no 5 “materials should require and facilitate self-investment”. 2) principles materials development no 6 “learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught”. 3) principles materials development no 8 “the learners attention should be drawn to linguistic features of the input”. 4) principles materials development no 9 “ materials should provide learners with opportunities to use target language to achieve communicative purposes”. 5) principles materials no 10 materials should take into account that the positive effects of instruction are usually delayed”. 6) principles materials development no 12 “materials should into account that the learners differ in effective attitudes”. 7) principles materials development no 15 “materials should not rely too much on controlled practice”. 8) materials should provide opportunities for outcome feedback”. The further investigation of other Tomlinson principles is needed to confirm idea whether or not materials of the textbook fit the classroom condition.
