Abstract

This article examines the opportunities and challenges of integrating Islamic values into the Indonesian English language classroom. In a country with a predominantly Muslim population, incorporating Islamic teachings into English Language Teaching (ELT) offers students a chance to develop both their language skills and moral character. The paper looks at how values such as honesty, tolerance, and respect for diversity can be integrated into the English curriculum, enhancing students' cultural awareness and promoting ethical growth. However, challenges such as the secular nature of language education, the diversity of students' religious backgrounds, and a lack of specific teaching resources pose obstacles. To address these challenges, the article suggests strategies for teachers, including the use of authentic materials (like Islamic texts), fostering classroom discussions on moral values, and exemplifying Islamic ethics in teacher-student interactions. This study employs a qualitative descriptive research approach, utilizing library research by reviewing various journals and sources related to the incorporation of Islamic values into English language teaching. Finally, by embedding Islamic values, students not only improve their English proficiency but also strengthen their identity as Muslims in a globalized society.
