hospital administration students' learning needs for Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) should be addressed through supportive instructional methods. This study aims to develop an English module that integrates Task-Based Learning (TBL) to improve HOTS among students at the Mataram Hospital Administration Academy. The developed module aims to help students acquire the knowledge required to serve as hospital administrators. This study is based on the Research and Design (RnD) model developed by Borg and Gall, which comprises several stages, including research and information gathering, planning, initial product development, and initial field testing. A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze the data. The analysis found that the developed English module received feasibility scores of 88% and 86% from English education and hospital administration experts, respectively. Based on the results of the initial field test, the module's aspects were rated “Very Good” and “Good” by hospital administration students. It can be concluded that the developed module is effective, practical, and suitable for students of hospital administration.
