The purpose of this study is to analyze the “Snapshot†textbook based on the local characteristics of Indonesian intermediate students. Therefore, the descriptive analysis method was applied to this study by using documentation and observation techniques. As a result, five elements need to be adapted based on the local characteristics of Indonesian students: 1) sociocultural content, 2) language level, 3) authenticity 4) instruction method, and 5) tests & exercises. Adapting the textbook-based local characteristics of students is not simple but it is important to achieve the learning objectives successfully.Downloads
