Abstract

Objective: This research aims to address the deficiency in English textbooks used in the fourth- grade elementary schools of Pekanbaru, which currently lack the integration of Riau Malay Culture (RMC) and do not adequately consider the specific needs, context, and characteristics of the students. The primary objective is to develop an English textbook that incorporates RMC into its content. Theoretical Framework: The research is based on the ten-step model of development research outlined by Borg and Gall. This model includes stages such as research information gathering, planning, draft development, expert testing, expert test revision, limited trials, revision of limited trial results, broad trials, revision of broad trial results, and dissemination or socialization. The research framework considers input from principals, teachers, and students, with trials conducted in one and five selected schools involving 10 and 30 participants, respectively. Method: The development research method involves various stages of data collection, textbook development, expert evaluations, limited trials, extensive trials, and result analysis. It includes the participation of principals, teachers, and students to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the textbook's suitability. Result and Conclusion: The research findings indicate that the existing Teaching Book lacks an emphasis on the importance of RMC in English language learning. Consequently, new textbooks have been developed, including teacher instruction manuals and student workbooks. Students have shown enthusiasm for learning English and demonstrated recognition of the presented vocabulary. The Text Book has proven to be suitable for fourth-grade students in Pekanbaru Private Elementary School, Riau. Originality/Value: This research contributes to addressing the gap in English language education by developing textbooks that incorporate RMC, enhancing the learning experience for elementary school students in Pekanbaru. It provides a valuable resource for educators and curriculum developers looking to integrate local culture into English language teaching materials.
