ABSTRACT
Technology is currently growing rapidly. Technology can improve the way of learning more effective and flexible. With the help of technology as well, learning a language can be delivered in various forms and ways. One of them is learning using mobile applications. This project introduces an application that can help anyone to learn Iban Language. An application called Aram Belajar Bahasa Iban which means Let learn Bahasa Iban is created for those who are interested in learning Iban Language. This application is used to translate English words into Iban words by using media such as text, audio, and images to present the information. Afterwards, the development of this application uses the Waterfall prototyping methodology has been used for completing this project. Therefore, this application will serve as a medium of interaction to reveal more about Iban Language.

ABSTRAK
Teknologi pada masa kini sedang berkembang dengan pesat. Teknologi dapat meningkatkan cara pembelajaran dengan lebih efektif dan fleksible. Dengan bantuan teknologi juga, pembelajaran sesuatu bahasa dapat disampaikan dalam pelbagai bentuk dan cara. Salah satu nya adalah pembelajaran menggunakan applikasi telefon. Projek ini memperkenalkan satu applikasi yang boleh membantu sesiapa sahaja untuk belajar Bahasa Iban. Applikasi yang bernamaAram Belajar Bahasa Ibanyang bermaksudJom belajar Bahasa Iban dicipta untuk mereka yang berminat dalam mempelajari Bahasa Iban. Applikasi ini adalah digunakan untuk menukarkan perkataan Inggeris ke Iban dengan pengunaan media seperti teks, suara, dan gambar untuk mempersembahkan informasi. Selepas itu, pembangunan aplikasi ini mengunakan kaedah Waterfall sebagai prototaip bagi menjayakan projek ini. Oleh itu, aplikasi ini akan befungsi sebagai medium interaksi tehadap keinginan mereka dalam mempelajari Bahasa Iban.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
Sarawak has more than 40 sub-ethnic groups each with its own distinct language, culture, and lifestyle. Iban is the largest population in Sarawak, thus Iban language is mostly used in Sarawak. Language is an important part of any society. It is the identities of the community. Due to the modernization era, the new generation is more likely to speak English or other dominant languages.
There are some ways for people who are interested in learning Iban Language which is through website and education. The student can study Iban Language at school and university by using some materials like textbook and learning modules. However, not everyone can easily catch up in every session. There also some cite that can be used for people to learn Iban Language such as Borneo Dictionary. Although this website can be used for learning Iban Language however, it does not include multimedia such images and audio which is important for them to understand more.
Currently, there are no mobile applications for people to learn Iban language thus this project is about to develop an Android mobile application called Aram Belajar Jaku Iban that could help conversation and pronoun cation through guides and quiz. The main idea of developing this application is to help people that want to learn how to speak Iban. Furthermore, this application is helping Iban people to preserves their mother language.
Basically, this application is for translating English word to Iban Language. In this application, the user is able to listen to the pronunciation of the word in Iban Language. The user also able to search for the meaning for a word. Different type of media that been used such as text, images, and audio to represent the information to allow the user to understand more clearly and pronoun it correctly.

1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
As we well know there are many applications for people to learn Malay Language and also Mandarin.
However, there is no android application for people to learn Iban Language that consists of all the multimedia like text, audio, and images.
In addition, Sarawak has many tourist’s attraction. However, there is no digital guide for tourists in learning the language or communicate with local people.
Finally, Iban generation nowadays might not know to speak Iban because of the mix-culture environment and they tend to speak more dominant languages such as Melayu Sarawak, Bahasa Melayu, English, and the others. Thus, this type of application help preservation of Iban Language from extinction
1.3 OBJECTIVES
There are a few goals that need to be achieved upon the completion of this project:
a) To gather out information for building a learning language application.
b) To design an android mobile application for people to learn Iban Language with the use of multimedia such as images, text, and audio.
c) To develop an android mobile application that can assist people in learning Iban Language.
1.4 PROCEDURE/ METHODOLOGY
In this project, waterfall methodology is been used. Waterfall methodology is a sequential design approach.
It is less iterative and flexible approaches. Figure 1.1 shows the diagram of the Waterfall Methodology.

Figure 1.1 Waterfall methodology 1.4.1 Requirement
The first phase of this methodology is related to chapter 1 and Chapter 2. In this first phase, the project objectives, project scope, project methodology, and project requirements are defined. Then, studies about developing a mobile application for learning a language and then make a comparison between 3 existing application that related to learning a language. The application is evaluated and analyzed to distinguish the features. Some features might be adapted to the proposed system.
1.4.2 Analysis and Design
The second phase is related to chapter 3 which are requirement analysis and design. Next step after requirement gathering is analysis and design to produce a low-fidelity prototype to visualize the system architecture. There is two types of designs which are logical design and physical design. For the logical design, the Entity relationship diagram (ERD) and Data flow diagram (DFD) are designed to illustrate how

the system works. Then for physical design, the user interface is designed to illustrate how the system looks like.
1.4.3 Development
The third phase is related to chapter 4 which are implementation. In this phase, the actual source code for the proposed system is finally written. An Android Studio is a tool that used to develop the Android mobile application. The implementation is according to the UI design, physical design and logical design that has been done in chapter 2. It will have a login page, sign up page, main page, activity page, feedback page, and quiz page. Firebase database is used to store all the related data.
1.4.4 Testing and modification
This phase is related to Chapter 5 which is testing and evaluation. In this phase, the functional testing and non-functional testing need to be done to the proposed system. Then, the proposed system will be tested using usability testing. The functionality and feature of the application need to be evaluated to improve the performance and the accuracy of the application by using gathering analysis the user’s feedback. Then, the limitation is defined.
1.4.5 Operation
This phase is related chapter 6 which is the conclusion and Future Work. In this phase, future work needs to be done to overcome the limitations of the proposed system that defined on Testing and Modification phase.
Finally, an android mobile application called Aram Belajar Jaku Ibanis ready for launching. The system is presented to the examiner at the end of the semester. The final report also prepared for submission.

1.5 PROJECT SCOPE
This project scope is focused on all people around that want to know the Iban language. This application will assist the user in learning Iban by translating English words into Iban words. The application will consist of multimedia such as images, text, and audio. The limitation of the project which is the application only can work online. The target user for the project is the students of University Malaysia Sarawak who are taking Bahasa Iban.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
Upon the completion of this project, an android mobile application will be developed that will assist people in learning Iban Language. The mobile application will help local people to preserve their language which is Iban Language. Then, it will be able to help tourist that come to Sarawak to communicating with Iban people.
1.7 PROJECT SCHEDULE
The project schedule is a guideline to manage the time control of this project to ensure that the project could be finished within the time frame. The schedule of the project is represented by the Gantt chart. This proposed project starts on 10 September 2018 and end on 27 May 2019. The Gantt chart for this proposed project is shown in figures 1.2.
