Abstract

This study aims to explore, reconstruct and produce bilingual reading texts stemming from the folklores that contain the local wisdoms of the people of Sumbawa District, West Nusa Tenggara. The design used for this study is research and development which is oriented to the production of supplemental bilingual reading texts to support the implementation of Curriculum 2013. The data were collected from various sources: (a) in-depth interviews with key informants who inherit oral tradition stories, (b) available documents of folklores and (c) critical notes from fellow teachers and lecturers about the prototype products produced. All data sources were analyzed descriptively, qualitatively by using data triangulation technique. Data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion and verification. The study revealed two major themes: (1) tangible cultural products and intangible cultural products. Under these themes, five categories of folklores containing the values of local wisdom that became the sources of character education within the Sumbawa ethnic group, i.e. (1) family education, (2) societal collective practices, (3) folktales, (4) myths and (5) superstitions. Analysis of each of these categories was discussed in the paper. Upon completion of the study, these products of folklores would be rewritten in both Indonesian and English to supplement the present available student book with a variety of local-based bilingual texts.
