Islamic Moderation Values within ELT in a Higher Education Context

Islamic moderation has received a great deal of attention both in the west and in the east to resolve different religious conflicts[1][2]. Scholars and coursebook writers had included Islamic moderation values in the coursebooks of Islamic religious studies[3]. Besides, Islamic institutions had applied moderate Islamic understanding through Aswaja An-Nahdliyyah character education[4]. In ELT, lecturers of English subjects had instilled Islamic moderation values in teaching speaking through group-work activity[5]. Also, some lecturers had integrated Islamic values into learning English[6]. By using qualitative metadata analysis, the research on the moderate moderation values in ELT in a Higher Education context was investigated by using journal papers the primary data. The results showed that no school or universities in Malaysia, the Philliphines, Singapore, or Vietnam integrate Islamic moderation values within English language teaching. Only in Indonesia, a few Islamic institutions including Islamic universities or schools integrate Islamic moderation values in English language teaching.
