DEVELOPMENT OF LINOIT DIGITAL MEDIA FOR GERMAN NARRATIVE TEXT READING SKILLS OF ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS IN THE SECOND SEMESTER

Abstract

Learning to read German narrative texts among 11th grade students at SMAN 1 Gedangan still faces obstacles in vocabulary mastery and text comprehension. The media used tends to be less interactive and is not yet in line with the characteristics of students in the digital age. This study aims to develop Linoit digital media and determine its suitability in supporting reading skills. The research used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, limited to the Analysis, Design, and Development stages. The product was a Linoit-based virtual whiteboard containing narrative texts, vocabulary, supporting images, and interactive activities. Data collection techniques were carried out through expert material and media validation sheets. The validation results showed that both subject matter experts and media experts obtained a feasibility percentage of 94% in the highly feasible category. Based on the research results, this media meets the aspects of content, appearance, and ease of use, so it is declared feasible for use as a more interactive and effective learning alternative in improving German reading skills.
