Abstract
Indonesian foreign language teachers often need help to develop folktales as listening teaching materials due to the linguistic difficulties of the discourse. Therefore, this study aims to adapt folktales discourse linguistically to be utilized as teaching materials for Japanese, Chinese, and English beginner-level learners. This study conducted the research and development method by involving research participants of high school foreign language teachers in the needs analysis. The conclusion found that linguistic adaptations of folktales podcasts for beginner-level foreign language learners are adjusting compound sentences into single sentences, selecting diction, verbs, nouns, and adjectives at the beginner level whose meaning is synonymous with diction in classical language, and giving detailed information for complex vocabulary.
