<p>English is an international language, and almost all Indonesians are aware that most of the teaching materials that use English contain foreign cultural content and topics from abroad. This will cause students to be less aware of the culture of the nation, because they are more focused on understanding foreign cultures. This problem will be incompatible with the goals of national education, which emphasize the development of national cultural identity and the formation of virtuous character, as well as the competitiveness of human resources for the Indonesian nation. This research is the development of teaching materials that aim to produce a product that will later be useful for students in improving their English language skills. In this study also discusses how a teacher can manage their teaching from rich local materials and resources into attractive teaching and learning management.As a teaching material, the product produced is English-language material, using easy-to-understand vocabulary, and is not accompanied by practice questions at the end of the reading, so that students can read calmly.</p>

There is no doubt choosing specific language teaching materials can influence the quality of teaching and learning procedures. The textbooks can often play an essential role in students’ success or failure as a part of the materials used in the language classrooms. Consequently, special care should be taken in evaluating educational materials based on dependable and valid instruments. Some of the usual instruments to evaluate the English Language Teaching materials are the checklists. An evaluation checklist is an instrument that allows the evaluator with a number of features of successful teaching and learning materials. Regarding this, the present study is an attempt to evaluate the recent general English textbook by Richards and Bohlke (2012) titled “Four Corners” using Daoud and Celce-Murcia’s (1979) evaluation checklist. The finding of the study supports the strengths of the aforementioned textbook putting it in one of the reliable available textbooks.

English Language Teaching (ELT) materials are significant as tools in facilitating a second language teaching and learning including for preschool level. Also, it is necessary for teachers to opt for appropriate ELT materials which encompass cultural and local identity to generate a meaningful and relatable context of teaching and learning. Nonetheless, most of the materials currently available for preschool education in the publishing market are foreign and therefore little focus on local context. It is more evident in Islamic preschools, as the ELT materials need to be infused with Islamic values to align with the philosophy of Islamic preschools. Hence, this paper presents and discusses a part of a study on Islamic preschool teachers’ perception of the Soleh English (SE) teaching materials developed in the attempt to integrate Malay culture and Islamic values with ELT. The study employed a Case Study design involving five female Islamic preschool teachers in the Klang Valley Region. They were purposely chosen based on their experiences using the SE teaching materials. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews and triangulated with a questionnaire and document analysis. The interview data reported in this article were thematically analysed. Findings illuminated four key themes for each research question which indicated that there is an integration of cultural and Islamic values in the SE teaching materials as well as in ESL teaching. This enabled the teachers to instil Islamic and cultural values in their English language teaching in contribution to generate noble citizens.  Keywords: materials, ESL teaching, integrated values, islamic preschool, cultural.

Abstract: The teaching materials of Islamic Education in Public Universities in South Sumatra almost all refer to the existing curriculum, but the sources of material in the verses of the Qur’an are still minimal. In fact, it’s time to introduce the contents of the verses of the Qur’an to students. In this study, the author feels the need to develop Islamic religious education materials in public universities that have existed in South Sumatra into a teaching material for Islamic Education, which later can be used as a guide in teaching and learning activities. The procedure for developing teaching materials is analysis, planning, developing, evaluation, and revision. The results of this development are expected that Tridinanti, Stifi, Bina Dharma and UIGM universities have a source of guidance for lecturers and students in teaching and learning activities, making it easier for students to understand and explore the contents of the Qur’an, add insight and innovation to scientific thinking and education enrich the treasure and give new colors to the material of Islamic Education in public universities. ملخّص: مدّة التّعليم التّبية الإسلاميّة في جامعة العّامة بسمطرة الجنوبية تقريبا كلّهم قد اشار إلى التّخطيط الموجودة. ولكنّ فى الحقيقة منذ الآن. يعلم العلم القرآنيّة إلى الطّلاب الجامعة. في هذا البحث يحتاج الكاتب إلى التطوير في مدّة التّبية الإسلاميّة في جامعة الموجودة بسمطرة الجنوبيّة ليكون مدّة التّعليم الاسلاميّة. الّذي بعده يستطيع أن يكون اسوة في برنامج التعليم المتعلم. وأمّا طريقة التّطوير المدّة التّعلّم هم التّحليل، التّخطيط، التّطوير، التّقويم ومراجعة. ان يملك  UIGM و ،Tridinanti، Stifi، Bina Dharma وحاصل من هذا التّطوير يرجى إلى الجامعة ممنوع العلوم لمحاصر والطّلاب في برنامج التّعليم و المتعلم لتسهيل الطّلاب في تفهيم علوم القرآن. وتزديد العلوم وإبكار التّفكّر العلميّة في علوم التّبيّة وتكثير الخزانة تلوين الموجودة في مدّة التربيّة الإسلاميّة بجامعة العّامة.
