Abstract

Scholars from the field of Islamization of Knowledge have written extensively on the need to Islamise the teaching of English as a second language (ESL) to Muslim students. Inspired by this ideal, the authors have attempted to develop chapter 1 of grade 1 textbook to teach ESL with Islamic Perspective. The research began with literature review on the discussion of Islamization in general and then specific to teaching ESL with Islamic Perspective. Literature was reviewed on the criteria to write textbooks and an informal but careful study of the Cambridge ESL Grade 1 syllabus and Oxford ESL Grade 1 syllabus was conducted. An earlier proposed and qualitatively tested model of Islamisation was deployed to Islamise the teaching of ESL and develop the contents of chapter 1 of grade 1 textbook in line with standard ESL syllabus with respect to reading, listening, writing, speaking and grammar skills. It is hoped that this humble effort will encourage further research into the field of Islamising the teaching of ESL for Muslim students.
