The background of this study is based on the importance of the role of religious teachers as agents of change in shaping the character of students through an effective communication approach. The purpose of this study is to describe the interpersonal communication strategies applied and their influence on students' understanding of Islamic values. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that religious teachers apply communication strategies such as a personal approach, two-way dialogue, empathy, and role modeling. This strategy has proven effective in building emotional closeness and increasing students' understanding and practice of Islamic values.
