The Making of Bengkalis Tourism Attraction Educational Book for Primary Students

Abstract

English is an important subject for students, especially in primary schools. However, many English learning materials still use general or foreign topics that are not related to students’ daily lives. This makes it harder for students to understand and enjoy the lessons. The purpose of this final project was to create an English educational book about tourist attractions in Bengkalis for primary students. The goal is to help students improve their English vocabulary and reading skills through simple texts and fun activities based on local content. This study used a descriptive method. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The steps included collecting information, preparing the content, translating texts, designing the book layout, and writing exercises. The result of this project is an educational book that contains short reading texts, bilingual vocabulary, and interactive tasks like matching words, crosswords, and quizzes. This book can be used as an additional learning resource in the English classroom that is simple, attractive, and easy to use.
