Guidelines for Integrating Character Education in Materials

Keywords

Character education, EFL textbooks, morality-oriented materials.

Abstract

Character education has been considered necessary for the development of students’ characters. Therefore, English language teaching should include character values in its materials. Considering the existance of English textbooks which included values contradicting with the principles of Indonesia, guidelines to develop materials were needed by material developers and English language teachers. Thus, this article aims to propose guidelines in developing morality-oriented materials based on Indonesian context. The proposed guidelines were created by reviewing the relevant literature and taking into account some perspectives in communicative competence and intercultural competence. In addition, the guidelines emphasized the importance of stating the correct learning objectives, selecting the appropriate teaching methods and class activities.
