Abstract

Keywords: textbook, morphosemantic, teaching reading skills, window shopping
Every human in the world needs education. A new educational environment requires a different way of designing student learning experiences and a new approach to teaching and evaluating. Teaching morphosemantics is certainly very necessary for students, especially in learning to read English texts. This is of course to help students build reading skills from morphology and semantics.
This research aimed to discover the effect of using the textbook through a window-shopping strategy that can help students explore their morphosemantic reading skills. Furthermore, this research focuses on how students can implement their word formation and lexical meaning understanding through reading English learning. The present study had two research objectives, there are: 1) To find out
to what extent students can distinguish word formation in the textbook ―The Drive to Dubai‖ at part of father‘s story, and 2) To find out how far those students understand the lexical meaning of the textbook ―The Drive to Dubai‖ at part of father‘s story.
The researcher used a descriptive qualitative method as a research design. This research project was carried out in SMP Islam Raudlatul Ulum Jember. Participants in this research were all 8th-grade students, totalling 33 students.
Data were collected from three stages including class observation taking photos of learning and teaching activities, document analysis through student learning
artefacts such as written and unwritten assignments and semi-structured interviews through audio recordings. The data analysis namely data display and data condensation.
This research had two findings: 1) Students can distinguish word formation in the textbook "The Drive to Dubai" at part of father‘s story. 2) Students understand the lexical meaning of the textbook ―The Drive to Dubai‖ at part of
father‘s story. Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that teaching language students the fundamentals of morphosemantic studies, such as word formation and lexical meaning at a young age has many positive effects, including theoretically and practically assisting students in terms of arranging words into simple sentences and being able to distinguish between parts of speech. This knowledge may also be applied as a practical guide for students to hone their reading abilities, and it naturally makes it simpler for them to practice reading more English texts by their fundamental language capabilities.
