Abstract

Ethical values play a critical role in education, particularly in English language teaching, where communication and cultural exchange are central. This study explores how language teachers integrate ethical values into their instructional practices and navigate ethical challenges in their classrooms. Using a multiple-case study design, the research focuses on three educational settings in Aceh, which were involved, namely a public high school, a private language institution, and a university language department. Data were collected through questionnaires to capture teachers' strategies and the ethical challenges they encounter. The findings reveal that teachers employ ethical values by fostering open communication, adapting lesson plans to meet students’ diverse needs, and promoting fairness through differentiated instruction. However, challenges such as balancing fairness in grading, managing behavior respectfully, and addressing cultural diversity emerged. Teachers employed reflective practices and collaborative problem-solving to navigate these challenges. The study concludes that ethical practices are essential for fostering inclusive learning environments. These findings imply the need for teacher training programs to focus on ethical decision-making, supporting teachers in promoting values that enhance student engagement and development
