Abstract

This study aimed to develop Leseübungen materials and text comprehension strategies based on student feedback for B1-level German language learning in the German Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. The study was motivated by the low student pass rate in the Lesen module, which was caused by limited vocabulary mastery, difficulties in understanding sentence structures, ineffective reading strategies, and low comprehension of textual contexts. The research employed the Design-Based Research method using Reeves’ model, which consists of four stages: collaboration with practitioners, identification of solutions, evaluation, and revision. Based on the results of the analysis, Leseübungen materials grounded in Student-Centered Learning (SCL) were developed by integrating collaborative strategies. The developed materials were validated by three experts and achieved an average Aiken’s V score of 0.93, categorized as highly valid. The implementation phase involved 20 students from the B1 Vorbereitung class. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ Lesen abilities. The mean pre-test score increased from 46.25 to 63.90 in the post-test, with the paired sample t-test showing t = 9.44 and a significance value of p < 0.05. The findings indicate that the development of Leseübungen materials based on student feedback was effective in improving B1-level German text comprehension skills. The development of learning materials tailored to students’ needs, combined with collaborative strategies and the integration of learning technologies, contributed to improved global and detailed text comprehension and supported the enhancement of German language learning quality in higher education.

Abstract

Abstract: The development of digital media has created many alternative ways to learn foreign languages, including German. One widely used medium is the Deutsch Lernen durch Hören Podcast on the Spotify platform, which features short stories and everyday dialogues in German. Despite its popularity, the content of this podcast must be evaluated for its suitability with the curriculum implemented in Indonesia before it can be used as learning material for listening skills. This study aims to describe the alignment of the Deutsch Lernen durch Hören Podcast material with the curriculum, highlighting the potential of podcasts as a digital learning medium to improve students' listening skills in German. This study uses a qualitative approach using library research. Data are analyzed through content analysis to identify patterns, themes, and meanings in the podcast episodes. The materials analyzed include themes, audio content, transcripts, and final subtopic evaluations. From more than 100 available episode titles, titles relevant to the curriculum will be selected and grouped by theme in the Semester Learning Plan (RPS) in tabular form. The research instrument consists of a questionnaire with a Likert scale designed to measure respondents' perceptions of the relevance and suitability of the podcast material for learning purposes. The method used in this article is a qualitative literature study. The literature review includes expert theories on listening skills, learning media, and the OBE curriculum. The analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques by entering data into a suitability instrument table compiled based on the OBE curriculum. Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that the Deutsch Lernen durch Hören podcast on the Spotify application has a very high level of suitability with the curriculum for the Hörverstehen course semester 3. With a validation percentage of 92%, this podcast can be recommended as a learning medium for German listening skills at level B1. However, teachers are still advised to develop additional evaluation questions to complement the learning. Because of the 27 themes that are in accordance with the learning plan, only 7 themes have an evaluation. Keyword: podcast, Deutsch Lernen durch Hören, OBE curriculum, listening skills, digital learning media Abstrak: Perkembangan media digital telah menciptakan banyak alternatif cara untuk mempelajari bahasa asing, termasuk bahasa Jerman.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keselarasan materi Podcast Deutsch Lernen durch Hören dengan kurikulum, menyoroti potensi podcast sebagai media pembelajaran digital untuk meningkatkan keterampilan mendengarkan siswa dalam bahasa Jerman. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan riset kepustakaan. Data dianalisis melalui analisis isi untuk mengidentifikasi pola, tema, dan makna dalam episode podcast. Materi yang dianalisis meliputi tema, konten audio, transkrip, dan evaluasi subtopik akhir. Dari lebih dari 100 judul episode yang tersedia, judul-judul yang relevan dengan kurikulum akan dipilih dan dikelompokkan berdasarkan tema dalam Rencana Pembelajaran Semester (RPS) dalam bentuk tabel. Instrumen penelitian terdiri dari kuesioner dengan skala Likert yang dirancang untuk mengukur persepsi responden terhadap relevansi dan kesesuaian materi podcast untuk tujuan pembelajaran.
