This paper examines the perception of Muslim teachers and students
of the values embedded in the English textbooks at the Secondary
level of the International Islamic School Malaysia (IISMS). The effect
of these values on the students’ vision of an Islamic identity are also
analyzed. IISMS offers IGCSE curriculum and uses textbooks written
and published in the United Kingdom. It is quite impossible to learn
English without delving in its culture. This issue becomes more
serious when the textbooks used to teach this language are written in
a completely different social and cultural context, alien to the
students’ social milieu. Interviews with a number of selected students
and teachers were conducted; as well as classroom observations to
observe how values are disseminated to students in order to enrich
the obtained data. The analysis of the data showed that the Western
values embedded in the English textbooks were explicitly and
implicitly manifested. The study also showed that there was
considerable contradiction between these values and those values
propagated in other textbooks used by the same students for other
subjects, as well as with values propagated by teachers and parents.
It was concluded that Muslim students’ perception of Western values
varied between acceptance and rejection. |
