Abstract

English language instruction in Islamic higher education is increasingly expected to support students’ disciplinary learning and future academic engagement in global scholarly communities. However, English courses are often delivered using general materials that are not closely related to students’ fields of study, resulting in limited relevance and motivation. This study aims to explore the integration of Islamic Studies content into English language learning for students of the Qur’anic Sciences and Tafsir Department at UIN Datokarama Palu through a Content-Based Instruction (CBI) approach. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the study collected data through classroom observations, document analysis, and student reflections during the implementation of English learning activities based on Islamic Studies topics, including Qur’anic themes, tafsir discourse, Islamic ethics, and contemporary Muslim issues. The findings indicate that the integration of discipline-specific content enhances students’ motivation to learn English, enriches their academic vocabulary, improves reading comprehension, and increases their confidence in discussing Islamic topics in English. Students also demonstrated greater engagement in classroom discussions because the learning materials were closely connected to their academic background and interests. These findings suggest that Content-Based Instruction provides meaningful and contextualized learning experiences by simultaneously promoting language development and disciplinary knowledge acquisition. The study concludes that integrating Islamic studies into English language learning is an effective strategy for improving English proficiency among Qur’anic Studies students and can serve as a practical model for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs in Islamic higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning strategy in enhancing English communication skills among second-semester students of the Islamic Communication and Broadcasting (KPI) Department, Faculty of Ushuluddin, Adab and Da’wah, in the English for Communication course. The study employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The participants consisted of 38 students enrolled in the course. Research instruments included speaking performances tests, classroom observation sheets, and student perception questionnaires. Data were collected through pretest and posttests, classroom observations during the implementation of TPS, and questionnaires administered at the end of the intervention. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic interpretation to support the quantitative findings. The result revealed a significant improvement in students’ English communication skills, particularly in speaking fluency, confidence, vocabulary usage, and classroom participation. Students became more actively engaged in discussions and demonstrated greater confidence in expressing their ideas in English. The findings indicate that TPS promotes collaborative learning and provides meaningful opportunities for communication practice. In conclusion, Think Pair Share is an effective instructional strategy for improving English communication skills in Islamic higher education, particularly in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses, and is recommended for postering students’ communicative competence and active participation.
