To attain these desirable outcomes, designing effective pedagogical approaches plays a significant role. The objectives of this research were 1) to present the procedural design for developing English major students’ desirable characteristics by being webinar organizers, and 2) to study the outcomes of this procedural design. The design output was I-DEAR Model presenting procedure and design ideas for developing students’ desirable characteristics by being webinar organizers, which was consistent with the curriculum goals. The population consisted of 39 fourth year English major students of Phranakhon Rajabhat University who took a course in preparation for internship in the first semester of academic year 2021. A questionnaire with the reliability of .97 was used to collect quantitative data. The statistics used for data analysis were mean and standard deviation. For qualitative data collection, triangulation was used to increase the validity and strengthen conclusions about the findings. Ten key informants were selected by purposive sampling using an interview form. The findings indicated that this procedural design enhanced students’ desirable characteristics at the highest level in all aspects.
