The role of folklore in the tourism development is very significant to improve the English competence for the tourism actors in Pekalongan. The research theories and methods used are the pre-research stage by conducting a preliminary study regarding the inventory of folklore in Pekalongan containing the potential material of learning English for the tourism development. The field research stage for the data collection is conducted with the interview method while the data processing stage is performed by conducting a folklore learning training of the English learning material. This research is expected to be a folklore-based English learning model for the tourism development that can be applied to empower the tourism villages in the Pantura Region in accordance with the master plan for development of Diponegoro University. In conclusion, the folklore-based English learning can be well accepted by the participants since the learning materials are suitable to the local wisdom of the Pekalongan people and are in accordance with the participants’ level of competence. Besides, the materials can motivate the Pekalongan tourism actors to promote the Pekalongan tourism to the outside world as well. Indeed, composing a folklore-based learning module is needed so that the local tourism can be developed thoroughly.
