English For Islamic Education

The English Book for Islamic Education is written to fulfill students’ needs to provide students who are studying Islamic sciences with the ability to understand Islamic texts in English. For an effective learning process, book planning starts from simple reading texts about Islam to closer to more authentic reading texts. Then each reader is given training to understand the context in the text. The English language learning content (vocabulary) taught to students must be directed towards English for Specific Purposes (ESP) according to their respective fields of knowledge or expertise (study program). This book is an answer to what was mentioned above, and is very suitable for students who have a background in Islamic sciences at the basic level.

By studying this book through effective learning techniques, the goals of learning English in higher education will be achieved optimally because it can meet the needs of students with a background in Islamic sciences. This book is not only suitable for students, but also for scholars with an Islamic background, including preachers who want to preach in English. This book contains interesting topics about Islam which are packaged in conversation, reading passage, vocabulary, sentence patterns, and writing practice. To strengthen students’ understanding and skills, the author prepares practice questions that vary in each unit and are interconnected with the material in that unit. This book is said to provide double benefits, namely knowledge and skills in English on the one hand and knowledge of Islamic religion on the other. This means that this book touches on the benefits of this world and the hereafter. Above of all, to improve the quality of this textbook, criticism and suggestions for better editions are highly appreciated.
