Abstract

Based on Undang-undang Republik Indonesia No. 20 Year 2003 Article II Clause 3 the goal of the national education is to develop the potential of education participants to be the people who have balanced mastery of science and technology in addition to have faith and righteousness. Therefore the process of teaching and learning in Indonesia must be integrated with the values of faith and righteousness to the Only One Supreme God (IMTAQ). The present study was conducted in such a context. The study is focused on identifying and describing the phenomena of the integration of the teaching of English with the Islamic values at SMP Islam Al-Azhar 15 Cilacap. It included how English teacher designed the lesson plan how the English teacher selected the instructional materials and media how the English teacher integrated the instructional activities with the Islamic values and the way the English teacher assessed the students achievement. The study is a descriptive case study with a qualitative research design. The subject of the study was an English teacher of SMP Islam Al-Azhar 15 Cilacap. Five techniques of qualitative data collection were applied namely observations field notes recording documentation and interviews. The result of the study showed that the Islamic values were integrated in the lesson plans the instructional materials the instructional activities and the assessment. The integration of the Islamic values in the lesson plans was done in the section of the instructional materials and in the instructional activities of the lesson plans. In the section of the instructional materials of the lesson plans the integration was done by embedding the Islamic values supported by verses of Al-Qur an and/or Al-Hadits which are relevant to the main materials selected based on predetermined instructional objectives. Meanwhile in the section of the instructional activities of the lesson plans the integration was done by making lists of the activities reflecting the Islamic values that would be conducted during the learning-teaching process. In the instructional materials the integration of the Islamic values was done through several ways i.e. (1) adding the exercises reflecting the Islamic values to the topic presented (2) inserting the Islamic names of person place and event to the exercises added (3) embedding the verses of Al-Qur an and/or Al-Hadits which are relevant to the topics presented in the main materials and (4) mixing the Islamic expressions with the relevant English expressions within the main materials. In the instructional activities the integration of the Islamic values was done in several ways i.e. (1) by conducting code-mixing and code-switching between English and the Islamic expressions based on the situational context (2) by linking the topic discussed to the relevant Islamic teaching which is done either by quoting the verses of Al-Qur an and/or Al-Hadits or by explaining the relevant Islamic teaching (3) by using the Islamic names for persons places or events in making the example of sentences or dialog script (4) by giving students assignment to write or find a kind of text related to the Islamic values relevant to the topic discussed. Meanwhile the integration of the Islamic values in the assessment was done through informal assessment consisting of oral questions teacher observations giving assignments and reading aloud. The materials of this assessment covered the Islamic values integrated. In addition the integration of the Islamic values in the assessment was also done through the daily tests in the forms of oral as well as written test. Based on the findings the degree of integration of the teaching of English with the Islamic values at SMP Islam Al-Azhar 15 Cilacap can be categorized as partial integration because of the following indicators (1) the syllabus referred was not specifically designed for such integration (2) the topics within the main instructional materials and media used were not selected based on the Islamic values. In this case the Islamic values were added to the existing materials (3) only most of the instructional activities conducted (not entirely) that combine the point of view of the Islamic values and the language teaching perspective during the learning-teaching process (4) the Islamic values presented function as the enrichment to the content of the lesson not as content of the lesson. Based on the findings some recommendations are formulated. The recommendations are especially addressed to the Moslem English teachers teaching Moslem students or at the Islamic schools the policy makers the textbooks writers and the future researchers. To the Moslem English teachers especially who teach Moslem students or at the Islamic schools it is recommended that they integrate the teaching of English with the Islamic values. By doing so it is expected that there will be no dichotomy anymore between religious and non-religious knowledge because both religion and knowledge relate to the human life. To the policy makers such as the Minister of Religious Affairs school principals and supervisors it is recommended that they make a policy stressing the necessity of integrating the teaching of English as well as the other subjects with the Islamic values. Besides it is recommended that they make a guideline for such a thing so that the teachers will get adequate easiness in implementing the policy. To the textbook writers it is recommended that English textbook writers write English textbooks specifically designed for the integration of the teaching of English with the Islamic values as the content of the lesson for such a book is really needed by the Moslem English teacher and students of Islamic schools. By doing so the Moslem English teachers and Moslem students will get easiness to find the Islamic English textbooks to be used in the learning-teaching process. To the future researchers as the present study is aimed to identify the overall phenomena of the integration of the teaching of English with the Islamic values at the SMP level it is recommended that future researchers interested in conducting replication study conduct research on the same topic at a different setting. By doing so it is expected that the findings will be more comprehensive to strengthen enrich and complement each other on information dealing with the implementation of the integration of the teaching of English with the Islamic values. Furthermore it is recommended that the future researchers conduct further studies especially on developing instructional materials for the teaching of English which is integrated with the Islamic values.
