There were three different teachers as the participants of this research. A qualitative research design was employed to collect the data. Three different groups of students were involved for class observation. The data were collected from teachers by conducting classroom observation, interviews and video recording activity.

Besides, in the context of Islamic-based university, students get more excited to learn English when the teachers were able to make a connection on English materials, the Islamic values and implication in the real life.
