Among the concerns of parents and educators in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning at school is regarding the western values that are contradictory to Islam. This can also be a challenge for teachers when students study in integrated Islamic schools or Pesantren, where students are equipped with Islamic values to be upheld and applied in their daily lives. It is not uncommon for inner turmoil for English teachers and some questions also come from students regarding the difference between the values taught in Islam and the values obtained from English lessons. Therefore, the author thinks about the need of integrating Islamic values in English lessons.

The research is aimed at achieving the following goals: (1) describing the strategies of Islamic value integrated into ELT; (2) exploring students’ response toward the integration of Islamic values to ELT. To reach the end, a descriptive qualitative approach was adopted. The study employed observation and interviews by involving EFL teachers and students. The research is expected to help EFL teachers or school managers foster Islamic values among EFL learners.

The research recommends that the integration of Islamic values to ELT be carried out by several ways, namely: (1) teachers can use interesting learning strategies and create interesting learning situations for students, (2) teachers can also choose teaching materials and reading materials that are not too difficult and are suitable for their grade level both in terms of Islamic material and the level of difficulty of English, and (3) teachers involve students to actively participate in the learning process in class.
