Elementary English education has been criticized that class instruction methods and the materials do not reflect learners’ need and the changing educational contexts. The purpose of this study is to develop a content and language integrated material prototype for sixth grade elementary school students to learn multiliteracy skills and to get them exposed to meaningful language input. For this purpose, four literacy skills, which were suggested by New London Group, were adapted to teaching task based content integrated instruction. Additionally, four elementary English textbooks and other four subject textbooks are analyzed to find out common topics for the material model. The model material assumes learners’ critical thinking and their competence to exercise smart learning tools. This integrated material model might enable learners to participate more actively in meaning making process by integrating their background knowledge with the target language in use. The material model needs to be specified to be implemented to real classroom situation. Additionally, digital supplementary materials can support insufficient class hours, giving a chance to learners to experience authentic language use and inquiry based learning.
