<![CDATA[This study addresses the gap between conceptual understanding and actual practice in academic speaking, particularly in panel discussion activities among students of Indonesian Language and Literature Education. Although speaking skills play a crucial role in higher education, current instructional practices remain limited in providing structured, interactive, and technology-integrated materials that support authentic communication. Therefore, this study aims to develop panel discussion teaching materials integrated into the Speech Bar Simulator application. This study adopts a research and development approach using the ADDIE model, limited to the development stage, including needs analysis, design, and product validation. Data were collected through interviews, questionnaires, and expert validation involving both material and media experts. The findings indicate that students’ needs for panel discussion materials fall into the high category, with an average score of 3.90, particularly in practical aspects such as discussion structure, role guidance, interactive media, and argumentation techniques. Qualitative results reveal that students face challenges related to self-confidence, argument development, spontaneous responses, and discussion management. The developed product was categorized as highly feasible based on expert validation, with average scores of 4.27 for material aspects and 4.26 for media aspects, indicating strong alignment in terms of content, pedagogy, and technology. Therefore, the developed materials are considered relevant and appropriate for supporting interactive and contextual speaking instruction. However, further research is required to examine their effectiveness in real classroom implementation.]]>
