Abstract: This research aims to design teaching materials in e-modules that integrate local
wisdom to increase the effectiveness of learning Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA).
In the era of globalization, understanding local culture is important to support a more
contextual and authentic language learning process. The e-module developed in this
research focuses on introducing and understanding local Indonesian culture, such as
customs, traditional arts, and social values. This development model uses the Borg & Gall
development model, namely preliminary study, research planning, design development,
preliminary field test, revision of limited field test results, main field test, revision of wider
field test results, feasibility test, final revision of feasibility test results, and dissemination
and implementation of the final product. Data collection at the pre-development stage was
carried out using a questionnaire validation instrument. The type of data in this research is
qualitative data. Qualitative data was obtained from expert test questionnaire validation in
the form of data resulting from comments, criticism, and suggestions in the form of
nonverbal data at the pre-development stage.
