The stage that is carried out only until the third stage is develop, because it must first be combined with the material, so that it can then be published and disseminated. The development process resulted in a set of case method-based test instruments, totaling eight themes, one case each. Each instrument is equipped with an assessment rubric by adapting the assessment rubric of international standards. The research instrument was declared feasible for use in Sprechen A2 learning according to the validation results which showed an average score of 92 for all components of the question.
