The world of technology is increasingly sophisticated so that science is required to keep up with its developments, including the problem of language mapping. ArchGis software is a technology tool that can be used to map languages in certain regions. This study aims to utilize ArcGIS software in dialectology practice. The method in this study is divided into several stages: first, the stages of installing ArchGis software onto a student laptop; Second, the stages of providing language alignment data to students; third, the stage of introducing ArchGis software and how to use it to students; and fourth, the stages of practicing ArchGis software in mapping languages. The subjects in this study were undergraduate students (S1) in the sixth semester of the Indonesian language and literature study program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia Bandung, Indonesia. The results of this study students feel helped and very enthusiastic about learning dialectology courses by utilizing ArchGis software as a learning media because it is very effectively used to map languages. The conclusion of this study is that ArchGis software is an effective tool for retrieving practical data on dialectology research.
