Abstract

This study aimed to describe the needs analysis of the printed and digital dictionary as one of the necessary resources for developing multilingual literacy in primary education. The study applied mixed-method research with a sequential embedded design. In this study, 27 teachers and 656 students from 9 public primary schools of 9 sub-districts of Buleleng regency were involved. The questionnaires and interviews proved that both teachers and students found it necessary to master vocabulary to develop literacy. They also agreed on the importance of multilingual dictionaries, printed and digital, provided with colorful pictures to help students to learn easier. Digital dictionaries were considered more flexible, not torn, and lost. However, the observation of the libraries and teacher rooms proved that the facilities and resources are lacking in most schools. Even there were no multilingual dictionaries in English, Indonesian, and Balinese. Hence, it is recommended for further research to develop the required dictionaries. Next, teachers and students need to regularly use the dictionaries in their teaching and learning process to develop students’ multilingual literacy.
