Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language features of descriptive texts and to examine their conformity with the characteristics of the descriptive genre from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) in the grade VII English textbook English for Nusantara. This research employed a qualitative approach with a content analysis design. The object of the study was the grade VII English textbook English for Nusantara, with the data source consisting of twenty six descriptive texts found in Chapters 1 to 5. Data were collected through documentation using an SFL based descriptive text analysis sheet as the research instrument. The data were analyzed systematically through the stages of identification, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that all descriptive texts consistently realize the core language features of the descriptive genre, including the use of specific and concrete participants, the dominant use of the simple present tense, frequent descriptive adjectives, and the predominance ofrelational andmaterial processesto represent attributes,states, and routine activities. Furthermore, expanded nominal groups and circumstantial elements of time, place, manner, and frequency are systematically employed to elaborate information and maintain textual coherence. These linguistic realizations demonstrate a strong alignment with genre based theoretical frameworks and effectively realize ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions. Therefore, thisstudy concludesthat English for Nusantara provideslinguistically appropriate, theoretically grounded, and pedagogically effective models of descriptive texts for grade VII students.
