This study aims to find the empirical evidence of the implementation of Munby’s
Communicative Syllabus Design which is adapted in the English summative
evaluation for the tenth-grade students of SMAN 101 Jakarta in the second
semester of the 2018/2019 academic year.
The method used is a content analysis as a kind of qualitative study. The data was
obtained through carefully reading, analyzing the texts and the test items. The
construct validity has been observed through a "framework of test mapping" based
on Munby's communicative reading competences.
It was found that the English summative test has a pretty good quality because all
indicators of reading competence have been fulfilled. The most significant
proportion was found in getting a piece of specific information explicitly (30%),
and the minor indicators was in getting general information explicitly and
identifying the purpose of the text (2.5%).
