The development of teaching and learning materials is an important process in ensuring the continuity of dynamic education. The materials developed must be in line with the passage of time and technological developments. To balance the speed of technology and the touch of humanity, teaching and learning based on blended learning is implemented. In the development of teaching and learning materials based on blended learning, various processes and procedures need to be verified to ensure the quality of production of a material. This study was aimed to examine the feedback of lecturers and students in the formative assessment of Arabic language modules developed in a blended learning environment. This study involved a total of 4 lecturers and 14 students of Sultan Zainal Abidin University who took basic Arabic language courses. Data were collected through checklists and brief interviews were conducted with study respondents in several evaluation sessions including individual evaluation, and small group evaluation. The findings of the study showed that in general, lecturers and students acknowledge that the developed module is suitable for use in a blended learning environment in addition to some suggestions for module improvement.
