AZIZUL MARYATI, Reg. NO. 21 301 040 13 entitled: “DEVELOPING E-MODULE ASSISTED BY FLIP PDF PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION FOR TEACHING DESCRIPTIVE TEXT FOR GRADE XI SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS”. English Teaching Department. Faculty of Tarbiyah and teacher Training. State Islamic University (UIN) Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. The problem in this study is the lack of the available books that are in accordance with the needs of students. This study aims to develop a Genre-based approach E-Module for teaching descriptive text for grade XI senior high school students assisted by Flip PDF Professional application. In this study, Research and Development (R&D) design was used. The R&D model used in this study was the 4D model which is divided into three steps: define, design, and develop. The instruments used were an interview guide, a students' need analysis questionnaire, and a validation sheet of the E-module. The collected data were analyzed by using a descriptive qualitative method for data obtained from interviews, and a descriptive statistic for data collected from the students' need analysis questionnaire, and from the validation sheet. The findings show that the students of grade XI in SMA N 2 Lintau Buo need to learn descriptive text clearly and structurally but struggle with vocabulary, grammar, and writing, while they prefer an interactive module with videos, pictures, and audio on everyday topics. Moreover, the teacher noted that the textbook does not meet their needs, emphasizing the importance of a new E-module to support learning in this digital era. The design of the developed Descriptive text E-module based on the Genre-based approach assisted by the Flip PDF Professional application consists of the cover, acknowledgment, table of contents, glossary, and introduction, which include learning objective, learning activities that follow the concept of Genre-based approach learning, evaluation, answer key and scoring guide, and bibliography, which all of this are structurally organized to make the students easy to follow the flow of the E-module. The validity score of the Descriptive text E-module based on the Genre-based approach assisted by the Flip PDF Professional application meets the “very valid” category based on validator assessment on the aspect of content, language, and graphics, an average of 89,01%.
