<![CDATA[This study examines the strategies and challenges faced by English teachers in integrating religious moderation values into English language learning at Islamic Junior High Schools in Salatiga. Religious moderation, encompassing tolerance, justice, balance, and respect for diversity, serves as a crucial solution to addressing intolerance and extremism within educational settings. The study has the aims to understand the strategies employed by teachers, the challenges encountered, and the solutions implemented during the learning process. Employing a qualitative research methodology, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving teachers from various madrasas. The findings indicate that teachers incorporate moderation values into teaching through the integration of learning objectives, the selection of relevant materials, and the use of participatory methods such as group discussions and text analysis. The strategies encompass planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. However, significant challenges arise, including time constraints, inflexible curriculum, and diverse student backgrounds. Proposed solutions include intensive teacher training, the development of moderation-based curricula, and the creation of inclusive school environments. This research contributes both practically and theoretically to advance the application of religious moderation values in educational contexts. It offers valuable insights for teachers, policymakers, and curriculum developers in fostering balanced and harmonious learning environments.]]>
