The study was conducted at SMA Kartika XIX-3 Bandung. Data were collected through a reflective journal, a validation sheet, and a student response questionnaire. The product was validated by one English teacher and two university lecturers. The validation results showed that the developed module obtained an overall average score of 87.25%, indicating that it was categorized as very feasible for classroom implementation. Media and visual design achieved the highest score (89.58%), followed by content validity (88.33%), language clarity (87.50%), practicality and feasibility (87.50%), and instructional design (83.33%).
