<![CDATA[Speaking instruction in Indonesian higher education requires materials that move beyond conceptual explanation toward authentic oral performance, culturally responsive communication, and digitally mediated learning. However, existing materials at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar were found to emphasize theoretical content, provide limited opportunities for sustained speaking practice, represent culture insufficiently as a communicative context, underuse digital resources for performance and feedback, and apply fragmented assessment. This study aimed to develop and establish the initial feasibility of digital communicative speaking materials integrating cultural literacy for university-level Indonesian language learning. A research and development design was employed through preliminary needs analysis, instructional planning, initial product development, expert validation, and revision. Data were obtained from lecturers and students through interviews and needs questionnaires, supported by classroom observations, course-document analysis, and expert evaluations of content, digital media, and language. Evidence across these sources consistently indicated the need for authentic speaking tasks, progressive learning sequences, culturally contextualized communication, multimodal resources, structured feedback, and integrated performance assessment. In response, the Gift-Learn prototype was developed as a recursive instructional system integrating multimodal resources, culturally situated speaking tasks, guided and authentic performance, peer and self-assessment, feedback, reflection, and electronic portfolios. Expert review led to revisions in conceptual accuracy, cultural representation, instructional clarity, interface navigation, accessibility, task manageability, and assessment criteria, supporting the prototype’s initial feasibility for subsequent limited classroom trials. The principal developmental contribution of the study is the operational integration of communicative performance, cultural literacy, digital interaction, feedback, reflection, and portfolio-based assessment within one coherent speaking-material system.]]>
