摘要：This research and development aims to test the validity and effectiveness of Indonesian Language Teaching Materials Based on Local Culture of Luwu, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research and development is at level two; the researchers only conducted validity testing and effectiveness testing of existing teaching materials. Both types of testing were conducted at Cokroaminoto University of Palopo. The validity testing was done through Focus Group Discussion. The components of teaching materials of which validity are tested include content, presentation, graphics, and language use. Meanwhile, the effectiveness testing was done by employing one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design.
