Anisah - Setyaningrum

Abstract


English teaching materials should meet the need of English learners. Unfortunately, most of teachers do not aware of the fact that actually young Muslim learners are able to learn Islamic studies in English in their age and it will be very useful for them in the future. This study aimed at investigating Pre-Service English Teachers (PSETs)’ voices dealing with incorporating Islamic studies in teaching English for young Muslim learners. Open ended questions and brief interviews were administered to Pre-Service English Teachers as the future English teachers who learn teaching English for young learners (TEYL) in their undergraduate degree to know their voices. It is showed that the Pre-Service English Teachers have the same perception that incorporating Islamic studies in teaching English for young Muslim learners should be done by the teacher, because it is their golden age to learn many things, especially foreign language (English). The result of this study is able to be a good contribution for the practice of teaching English for young learners, especially young Muslim learners.
