Abstract

Studies on the integration of moral, cultural, and religious values in the non-religion subject have been greatly raised in these recent years. This research aims to find out the teachers’ strategy and challenges encountered in integrating Islamic values in English language teaching. The descriptive method with a qualitative approach is employed in this research. The subject of this research consists of three English teachers who teach in different grades from seventh to ninth at SMP Pesantren Modern IMMIM Putra Makassar. The data of this research are obtained from the observation sheet and interview guide. The data analysis technique in this research uses three steps, namely identification, classification, and explanation. The result of this research shows that there are four strategies employed by English teachers in integrating Islamic values in ELT. First, the teachers give direct advice to the students. Second, the teachers associate the lesson topic with pertinent Islamic teaching by quoting verses from the Qur’an and/or Hadith. Third, the teachers get the students used to worship through the habituation of religious activities. Fourth, the teachers refer to someone, or themselves to introduce some Islamic values to the students. The teachers also encounter several challenges in integrating Islamic values in ELT. First, the limited availability of English textbooks integrated to Islamic values. Second, the teachers have limited knowledge of how to optimally integrate Islamic values into the teaching and learning process. Third, the teachers have a limited time to provide and prepare the English learning materials associated to Islamic values. Further studies such as research and development of English textbooks that integrated to Islamic values for high school students are expected to be conducted in an attempt to solve the teachers’ challenges revealed in this research.

Abstract

There are two research objectives in this research, they are to find out the target needs of the Midwifery department at the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI); and to find out the obstacles faced by the students of midwifery department of Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) in learning English. The research design is mixed-method research. There was 1 lecturer and 27 students at the Muslim University of Indonesia (UMI) that was taken as the subject of the research. The researcher used a questionnaire as the research instrument. The result of the research revealed that emphasizing midwifery terminology, effective communication skills, and written proficiency, the findings underscore the necessity of adjusted English language education for this group. Challenges identified include difficulties in vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, pronunciation, and confidence in speaking and writing. Addressing these obstacles requires targeted interventions such as refined instructional methods, confidence-building measures, vocabulary-focused interventions, and effective reading strategies. These findings align with the theory's emphasis on understanding learners' needs and implementing tailored solutions to facilitate language acquisition.
