Eight steps were done to do this research, namely conducting needs analysis, selecting some activities, writing the course grid, developing the activities, having the expert judgment, evaluating and revising the first draft, trying out the second draft, and finally analysing, evaluating, and revising the second draft to produce the final draft. Based on the research questions, four findings were obtained. First, the developed activities were relevant to the students’ and the teacher’s needs and characteristics.
