Listening Class and Moral Education

Abstract

Since some students including in my class become more self-oriented and less aware on group, there is a need to integrate online teaching material which contains moral values in society into English language course. We believe that English language teaching, in some extents, could facilitate this necessity. A good choice of material, for example, is not only beneficial to promote students' language skill, but also could inspire students to become a better individual. This paper aims to propose online teaching materials as alternative for teaching moral education. To limit its scope, the material is used only for teaching listening in the EFL classroom. The benefit is two folds. First, it is expected to directly improve students' listening skill. Second, the material could be used indirectly to implant moral values to the students where the emphasis could be placed on the Indonesian values of group and society. The paper concludes by echoing a call for further research specialised in a classroom action research.

Especially primary school and pre-school teachers, working with a young group of students, are important actors in moral education.…”
