Abstract

English department students of IAIN Pekalongan have many shortcomings in memorizing vocabulary. This is evidenced by our observations when students are speaking in front of the class. Sometimes, students are confused about conveying information they want to deliver because they are constrained by a lack of memorization of vocabulary. The situation happens when students must use English in active discussions. So far, the students tend to memorize vocabulary. Besides that, vocabulary books are less effective and less interesting because it only relies on the use of language skills. One way to learn vocabulary in a simple way is through codenames game. This game provides many vocabularies that must be guessed by the players in a team. Then, another player should describe the word to be guessed.

Abstract

Moderate values of Tawasuth, Tawazun, and Tasamuh are the values of ASWAJA which means fair, balance, and tolerance. Those values are believed to be able to build the unity of Indonesia. Therefore, those values are appropriate to be revitalized as life guidance in all aspects including educational environment. One of the alternative ways in implementing those values in education is by internalizing them in all learning process, including English learning. This article aims to describe the internalization process of the moderate values of Tawasuth, Tawazun, Tasamuh in the English learning process of some madrasah in Pekalongan regency, especially those which is developed by Ma’arif NU. This study was conducted by using a qualitative approach. The data were collected through an interview, observation, as well as documentation. The research result shows that those values are internalized mostly in the opening activities, especially in the apperception step. In its internalization process, all of the English teachers use transinternal strategy, action and comprehension approach, reflective method, as well as clarification technique. In short, it can be concluded that moderate values can be internalized implicitly in the English learning process through additional explanation in the apperception step. This study contributes to share the idea of the importance of moderate values internalization in English learning process as well as how to internalize them in real context of English learning.
