Abstract

The objectives of this research are to explore the evolution and implications of curriculum reforms in English Language Teaching (ELT) in Indonesia, focusing on the challenges and opportunities these reforms present for educators and learners. This research is a qualitative study that examines the historical development of ELT curricula, pedagogical shifts, teacher and student adaptations, contextual challenges, and future recommendations. The sample of this research includes education policymakers, ELT educators, and students across different regions of Indonesia. The data were gathered by using interviews, surveys, and document analysis, and were analysed by employing thematic analysis to identify key trends and insights. The findings showed that while recent curriculum reforms have made significant strides in introducing competency-based learning, critical thinking, and digital literacy, they have also highlighted systemic challenges such as resource inequalities, regional disparities, and varying levels of teacher readiness. In conclusion, the research suggests that future curriculum reforms should focus on addressing these challenges through equitable resource distribution, enhancing teacher professional development, and adapting the curriculum to better meet the socio-cultural and linguistic diversity of Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the interwoven relationships among language, culture, and society in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching through an Islamic lens. While previous research has broadly explored cultural integration in EFL, there is a notable research gap regarding how Islamic educational paradigms can be systematically applied to preserve local religious identities amidst globalized English instruction; this study offers a novel integrative model to bridge that gap. It emphasizes how language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a bearer of cultural and social identity. Integrating Islamic values into EFL instruction supports students in maintaining their cultural and religious identities while acquiring English proficiency. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method, drawing on literature and Islamic teachings to propose a culturally and religiously aligned approach to EFL pedagogy. It also identifies key sociolinguistic phenomena such as code-switching, politeness strategies, intercultural sensitivity, and cultural motivation Keywords : Language; Culture, Society; EFL; Islamic Perspective
