DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL SAMMELNALBUM LEARNING MEDIA ON THE THEME “ESSEN UND TRINKEN” TO TRAIN THE GERMAN READING SKILLS OF ELEVENTH-GRADE STUDENTS

Abstract

The development of this learning media was motivated by the need to improve students’ interest and learning motivation, limited mastery of German vocabulary, and the lack of varied learning media to train the reading skills of eleventh-grade students on the theme Essen und Trinken. In addition, German is a foreign language newly learned by the students, so an interactive and engaging learning media suitable for Generation Z characteristics is needed. This study aimed to determine the development process and feasibility level of the Sammelnalbum Digital learning media on the theme Essen und Trinken. This study applied the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model, limited to the Analysis, Design, and Development stages. The data were collected through interviews, documentation, and validation sheets from material and media experts. The developed media was an interactive Sammelnalbum Digital created using Canva and Genially, containing texts, images, videos, quizzes, and navigation buttons. The results showed that the Sammelnalbum Digital learning media obtained a feasibility score of 94% from the material expert and 98% from the media expert, both categorized as highly feasible. Therefore, the Sammelnalbum Digital learning media is highly feasible to be used in training the German reading skills of eleventh-grade students.
