Abstract

This research aims to develop an English e-book for young learners at SDN 001 Sambaliung using the Flipbook Maker application. The study addresses potential challenges in creating English e-books, such as engaging students with short attention spans and limited early literacy skills. Additionally, it explores the need for teacher and student training to use the Flipbook Maker technology. The research utilizes a qualitative approach combined with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model and Research and Development (R&D) methodology. Participants include students and teachers at SDN 001 Sambaliung. The findings reveal that using interactive e-books through Flipbook Maker offers advantages, including increased student interest and engagement. Moreover, the e-books can be adapted for other foreign language materials and provide easy accessibility for teachers, facilitating effective learning activities. This research successfully achieves its goal of developing an interactive and effective English e-book for young learners, integrating ADDIE principles and an R&D approach. The results can serve as a foundation for further development in utilizing Flipbook Maker technology in education.
