Designing Indonesian Learning Materials for Communicative Purposes for Foreign Learners
Keywords:
design; Indonesian learning material; communicative purpose; foreign learnerAbstract
This study aimed to develop the language learning materials
design for communicative purposes for foreign learners. This study
focused on designing the language material and the feasibility of
language learning materials for communicative purposes for foreign
learners. The study involved participants of 8 program managers, 11
language teachers, and 3 experts experienced in language learning for
foreign students, also 17 beginner-level foreign students studying
Indonesian in Indonesia. Data collected includes verbal and numerical
data. Verbal data was in the form of information about teachinglearning materials have been used by Indonesian learning program for
foreign learners. The data was used for designing language teaching
materials and collected through interviews with the program mangers
and documents studies. Numerical data in the form of validation score
of the learning materials design used to determine the feasibility of the
language teaching materials as learning media for foreign students. The
data was obtained by the validation test. The verbal data was analyzed
by using qualitative analysis techniques and its results were used to
make a design for Indonesian learning material. The numerical data was
analyzed by simple statistical analysis. Using these analytical
techniques, this study produced a design of learning materials that are
appropriate for learning Indonesian for foreign learners for
communicative purposes. The learning materials for communicative
purposes of Indonesian foreign learners more emphasize on the
language used in communication. Cultural materials and language skills
were the main choices in the development of learning materials. The
choice of content and variety of language learning materials was based on the analysis of students' learning needs. The development of learning
materials based on empirical studies can produce material designs that
are feasible for learning.
