Abstract

Development of students' basic speaking skills hasn’t reached expected target. It is important to develop speaking skills by learning materials using JF standards. Speaking skill is communicative competence and mastering language use rather than learning.  Speaking in general can be intended as a skill to convey one person's ideas to others by using spoken language. Therefore, this study aimed to address these problems by developing teaching materials for blended learning during a pandemic. This study aimed to develop teaching materials that motivate Japanese students to learn speaking skills independently. Teaching materials were developed following ADDIE model and tested by learning content and design expert groups. ADDIE of product development were Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Information was collected through class observations and interviews with four Japanese language skills courses lecturers. Validation of content and learning design expert tests obtained feasibility of 86% and 91%, respectively. Furthermore, average eligibility for small groups and field testing was 92% and 96%, respectively. Blended Learning-based teaching materials are essential during pandemic because they increase students’ motivation for physical activities and introduce  use of technology. This study could be developed further to test the application of teaching materials based on Blended Learning quantitatively.
