Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-state schools in Yogyakarta lacked learning materials due to insufficient funds. Thus, there was a need to develop an interactive trilingual teaching book for kindergarten students with an exciting story approach and thematic learning content so that students would enjoy the learning process. Furthermore, the book uses three languages, Indonesian, English and Korean, to develop the students becoming polyglots. To produce interactive learning media, the service group members implemented the Borg and Gall Model supported by Piaget’s foundation theory of language acquisition. The community service results show that interactive learning media in the form of storybooks can make children focus and visualize new vocabulary to be taught. The storytelling method itself is a method that can improve cognitive abilities, especially in the perceiving part and improve the children's foreign language skills. While the exciting stories in it make children interested and eventually become more focused on learning.
