The developed tasks were aimed to help 8th grade students of Junior High School to master grammar skills in order to comprehend and create texts. The study was educational Research and Development (R & D). The procedure of the study consisted of conducting the needs analysis, writing the course grids, developing the first draft of the developed materials, getting expert judgment, and writing the final draft of the developed materials. The type of the data was quantitative. The instruments of collecting the data were three questionnaires, which were two for needs analysis and one for expert judgment. The data from the needs analysis questionnaires were analyzed quantitatively by calculating the percentage of each answer on the questionnaires using the formula proposed by Sugiyono (2009: 144) and taking into account to the three answers of each question with the highest percentage. The results of the needs analysis questionnaires were used to conduct the course grids. Meanwhile, the data from expert judgment questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics through the use of Mean and classified into a particular category by using a formula proposed by Suharto (2008: 14). The respondents of the research were 61 students of 8th grade and an English teacher of Junior High School. The result of the study is a set of three units of communicative grammar tasks entitled Grammar for Better English. Each unit has 20 until 21 tasks which cover grammar skills related to descriptive, recount, and narrative text. The students needed the ability to use tenses correctly the most. They thought that using parts of speech was the most difficult grammar skill. The students wanted grammar tasks whose inputs were in the form of texts, videos, and songs. The types of the tasks that they preferred were matching, gap-filling, and discrimination task. They wanted to do the tasks individually, in pairs, and in small groups and in a classroom. The results of the expert judgment show that the developed tasks are categorized as “Very Good” as the mean scores ranged from 3.78 to 3.85 and considered appropriate for 8th grade students of Junior High School.
