In recent years, the use of the Alune language among younger generations has shown a declining trend, particularly within formal educational settings. One of the main contributing factors is the lack of systematic, culturally based teaching materials, as well as the limited capacity of native speakers to develop instructional resources. This program aims to empower native speakers to develop an Alune language textbook through a participatory and community-based approach. The program employs the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which consists of several stages: preparation and coordination, language documentation training, collection of vocabulary and cultural texts, collaborative textbook development, limited pilot implementation in partner schools, and finalization of the teaching materials. The expected outputs include: (1) a draft of an elementary-level Alune language textbook; (2) documentation of at least 500 vocabulary items and several cultural texts; and (3) enhanced capacity of at least 15 native speakers in developing language teaching materials. The textbook is designed using thematic and communicative approaches while integrating the cultural values of the Alune community. This program is expected to strengthen the preservation of the Alune language through formal education and to establish sustainable partnerships between the Alune-speaking community and Pattimura University. Ultimately, the program is intended not only to produce quality learning materials but also to enhance the community's capacity as active agents in preserving their indigenous language.
