Abstract


This study investigates the use of an integrated syllabus that combines Islamic, environmental, linguistic, and competence in Indonesian EFL classrooms. Data on integrated English teaching in Indonesia were gathered and examined from books, journal articles, and government reports using a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values into English learning strengthens students' moral and spiritual awareness while improving their English proficiency. By incorporating environmental awareness, english classes become forums for discussion about sustainability and encourage students' ecological responsibility and critical thinking. Moreover, linguistic competence remains the foundation of integration, ensuring language accuracy and communicative effectiveness. The study also shows that educators are important moral agents who create innovative, culturally appropriate curricula and contextualize lesson materials. However, challenges arise from limited teaching resources and inadequate teacher training for interdisciplinary integration.In conclusion, integrating Islamic, Environmental, and linguistic components offers a comprehensive educational framework that nurtures students' character, moral, and environmental consciousness while enhancing their English mastery. The study implies that in order to successfully implement this model and ensure alignment with Indonesia's educational, spiritual, and ecological goals, teacher training programs and institutional support are essential.
