Most of ELT in written communication used the traditional approach which is PPP (presentation, practice, and produce). Although it did reach the performance task which is writing, the process of achieving it is more on the teacher’s dictated. Therefore, the students are having difficulty during the exam time. Therefore, learning material is developed. This R&D uses Borg and Gall model. The approach of development is a combination of Task-Based Learning (TBL) proposed by Dave Willis and Jane Willis, with a project. The result is a learning material name Digital Brochure Project (DBP) and the learning syntax consists of pre-task, on task, planning report, project, and language focus. The activities start with teacher’s decision on the brochure’s theme, class discussion on the concept of brochure, directing students’ for observation and taking pictures, writing the object based on information gotten from field note and informants’ interview, revision based on teacher direction, reporting to the class, set the layout, arranging the pictures with the text, and ends with students’ improvisation on the language since it is a brochure. DBL focuses on how the students using the language with awareness, and build their critical thinking and creativity through conducting a project. The limitation of the research is DBP has not reached preliminary field testing. It is hoped the next study will be the continuation of it in order to get some input for the evaluation
