Abstract

The teaching of English at Islamic schools is aimed at achieving two purposes. First, the students acquire the knowledge and skill of the language. Second, the students make use of the knowledge and skill of language for learning religion (Islam). Thus, teaching English in Islamic schools require extended creativity of the teachers especially in designing the learning activities. In the context of Islamic higher education, lecturers must be aware of the needs to incorporate Islamic values in teaching language skills. This paper is intended to share the experience of the writer in integrating Islamic values in speaking class. Within the theory of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), integrating Islamic values and learning speaking skill is possible. The integration includes some aspects such as the selection of topics and the choice of classroom activities. In selecting topics, some issues in Islam like differences in deciding the first day of Ramadhan, possibility of doing pilgrimage outside Dzulhijjah, doing good deeds to parents, and many other current issues are chosen for speaking activities. Meanwhile, the selection of classroom activities come to those in which religious topics can be discussed much such as speech, debate, and preach. By integrating Islamic values, it is expected that two purposes of teaching language can be achieved. Students can speak English as well as use it for learning religious matters.
