This study presents the IDOL model (Arafah, 2019), a framework that integrates literature and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) into developing ELT materials. Structured in four systematic stages, the model demonstrates how pedagogical principles—combining literature with technology-enhanced instruction—lay the foundation for creating a prototype of CALL resources enriched with literary content. This rigorous development research was conducted at Alauddin State Islamic University Makassar, involving 73 participants, including 53 students, 10 lecturers, and 10 graduates from an EFL program. Data collection methods included needs analysis questionnaires, interviews, and evaluation checklists. Guided by the IDOL model, the developed prototype served as a versatile teaching resource for English instruction in the university's EFL program, functioning effectively as both primary and supplementary material. The application of the IDOL model illustrates the creation of robust teaching materials that integrate the rich potential of literature in language instruction, the interactivity of technology, and strong pedagogical foundations. This study offers a valuable framework for future projects to develop CALL materials that harness the potential of literature in English Language Teaching (ELT), inspiring educators and material designers alike.
