The Integration of Religious Moderation Values in English Language Teaching in Madrasah

Abstract

As the phenomenon of radical religious understanding emerges, the discourse of Islamic moderation in Indonesia is reemerging. Education plays a crucial part in the process of internalizing moderate Islamic values. Instilling Islamic moderation values must occur not only in religious subjects but also in other subjects such as English. The study’s objective is to explore how Islamic moderation values be integrated into the English language class. This study is qualitative and involves a case study. Through an in-depth interview, observation, and documentation, the data were acquired. The results were then thematically analyzed. The study’s findings revealed that Islamic moderation values could be integrated into lesson plans, learning materials, teaching and learning activities, and evaluation. Some significant suggestions made by the results are discussed in this study.
