This research aims to develop English material in the form of a digital flipbook as a medium for teaching English. This research used the research and development (R&D) method and adopted the 4-D model. The research participants were seventh-grade English teachers and 60 SMP Negeri 3 Wotu students. The needs of teachers and students were analyzed through interviews and questionnaires, which use quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques. The result of the need analysis showed that the English material needs to be developed. The mean score obtained from the three judges of the flipbook-based English language material is 4.5, categorized as "very good" and deserves to be used without revisions. The English material consists of several components: 1) the chapter about me, culinary and me, home sweet home, my school activities, and this is my school, 2) interesting videos and pictures, 3) various activities, 4) a vocabulary list. The final English material in a digital flipbook is suitable and can be used as an effective English teaching medium.
