Thus, critical thinking is a crucial competence in learning a foreign language. For this reason, English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks support EFL learners and encourage their critical thinking ability. The present content analysis research investigates to what extent critical thinking is implemented in the EFL textbook used by senior high school students in Indonesia. It mainly determines whether the tasks in the EFL textbook promote students’ critical thinking skills. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (MONEC) authorizes the analysis of the EFL textbook. Freeman's critical thinking framework was used for the analytic categories. The findings found that the textbook promoted critical thinking from the affected aspect rather than the content and language questions in Freeman's framework. Moreover, the activities in the textbook mostly focused on how students delivered their responses to the topic in the EFL textbook. The findings recommend promoting critical thinking through affect questions, which has been considered one of the educational objectives in this country; textbook developers need to generate more tasks endorsing critical thinking in content and language. Furthermore, EFL teachers must be trained to vary the tasks that can encourage students' CT skills.</p> Sangaji Yudhi Pratama Lutvy Arsanti Copyright (c) 2024 Sangaji Yudhi Pratama, Lutvy Arsanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-03-31 2024-03-31 10 1 225 235 10.36277/jurnalprologue.v10i1.164 THE RELATIONSHIP OF SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (SLA) IN ELT http://prologue.sastra.uniba-bpn.ac.id/index.php/jurnal_prologue/article/view/165 <p>Second language acquisition (SLA) has been an important topic of research within the field of English Language Teaching (ELT), with numerous teaching methods and approaches being examined to better language learning.

However, the lecturer should also control students’ autonomous learning including the learning content. This study explores students' perceptions of the control over learning content by students and the lecturer for promoting autonomous English learning. The researchers employed a qualitative method with interviews, observation, and documentation to gather the data. There were 15 non-English department students as the subject of the study. The finding revealed that the students had autonomy in controlling their English learning content such as determining the content reference, the content form, and adapting to needs. Although they began to have autonomy, they needed the lecturer’s role to support them. It was remainder for the lecturer that the role of facilitator, counsellor, and evaluator in English language teaching. Therefore, exploring students’ perceptions related to their autonomy in English learning is important to enhance teaching further.</p> Rabiatul Adawiyah Copyright (c) 2024 Rabiatul Adawiyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2024-03-31 2024-03-31 10 1 245 257 10.36277/jurnalprologue.v10i1.166 THE USAGE OF TABOO WORD TO PORTRAY THE POLITICAL VIEWS IN EMINEM SONGS LYRICS FROM 2002-2017 http://prologue.sastra.uniba-bpn.ac.id/index.php/jurnal_prologue/article/view/146 <p>This research of taboo word in the Eminem song lyrics from 2002-2017.
