Abstract
The limited availability of Indonesian language learning materials for international students (BIPA) and many requests from international students to study Indonesian at Medan State University are still constrained by the lack of BIPA teaching materials. This limitation is a crucial problem faced by BIPA lecturers. Therefore, the development of BIPA teaching materials is very much needed to develop BIPA Classes at Universitas Negeri Medan. The problems explored in this study are: the characteristics of the need for BIPA teaching materials containing North Sumatran culture for entry-level international students based on the perceptions of international students and BIPA lecturers- how to develop BIPA teaching materials containing North Sumatran culture for beginner-level international students- and how the experts' assessment of BIPA teaching materials containing the culture of North Sumatra for international students at the beginner level. This study applies a Research and Development approach that is carried out in five stages, namely: (1) preliminary analysis, (2) initial development of prototypes, (3) product design, (4) product validation resulting from development, and (5) product revision and refinement. In addition, this study applies three ways of collecting data, namely observation, interviews, and questionnaires, to obtain data on user needs in the development of teaching materials and initial assessment of prototypes of teaching materials.
