This paper demonstrates an observation on the linguistic repertoire and choices in reproducing the ideology delivered through a particular folktale. Folktales as in their delivery bring about a hidden agenda, i.e. the ideology, to teach the readers (Nodelman, 2008: 158). Having a potential to be categorized into children literature, the readers posses also the tendency to reproduce the ideology to the next generation. Critical Discourse Analysis aims to reveal the transparent relation between the action done and the reason behind (Fairclough, 1995). The writer observes the hidden agenda, i.e. the transparent relation in CDA, and the potential of its reproduction by employing The Language of Evaluation by Martin and White (2005) and transitivity analysis from Systemic Functional Grammar (SFL) by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). The participants are the students of Center of English for International Communication (CEIC) of the Language Institute of Sanata Dharma University. They are the students obtaining the highest scores in each level in the course. Given a text of a local folktale, they have to retell the tale in a paragraph. The expected result is that the students from the higher level, i.e. higher language competence, show more comprehensive evaluation in their production. Further, they are more comprehensive and, therefore, more tendentious in (re-)delivering the ideology(s). Hopefully, this paper might be useful as an example of CDA on literary works, folktales in particular, conducted in classrooms.
