Abstract

This study developed a needs-based digital book for English vocabulary and phrases for tenth-grade students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Palopo. The study addressed a mismatch between learners' communicative needs and the available English-learning materials. Using a research and development design, the study adapted the 4D model through define, design, develop, and limited dissemination stages. The needs analysis involved 36 students and was supported by classroom observation, interviews, questionnaires, expert validation sheets, and user perception questionnaires. The results showed that students needed practical vocabulary for communication, pronunciation support, visual presentation, translation, and mobile-accessible materials. These findings were translated into a digital book containing thematic vocabulary, common phrase-based expressions, pictures, translations, phonetic guidance, and context-sensitive Islamic and daily-life content. Expert validation indicated that the product was feasible in terms of design, language, and material quality, with scores ranging from 4.00 to 4.42. Student and teacher responses also indicated positive practicality for limited use. The findings should be interpreted as evidence of validity and practicality, not as proof of instructional effectiveness, because no experimental test of learning gains was conducted.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in building public awareness of the importance of tolerance, particularly amidst increasing cultural diversity and the potential for social friction in multicultural societies. Palopo City, a region with diverse ethnicities, languages, and social backgrounds, faces challenges in maintaining social harmony. This study aims to analyze the role of language in fostering tolerance and social harmony in the multicultural society of Palopo City. This study uses a qualitative approach with a field study method. Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The object of the study is the practice of language use in social interactions among residents of Palopo City. Data validity was tested using data triangulation and source triangulation. Data analysis includes three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results show that language functions as a communication tool, a unifying instrument, a means of strengthening relationships, and a form of social empathy. The practices of code switching, code mixing, and language adjustment according to the social context strengthen interethnic solidarity and prevent misunderstandings. These findings confirm that adaptive, polite, and contextual language practices contribute to the creation of a tolerant and harmonious society in Palopo City. The community, educators, and community leaders in Palopo City need to implement adaptive, polite, and inclusive language practices as a primary strategy in strengthening tolerance and social harmony in a multicultural society.
