Abstract

English teaching practice in the Covid-19 pandemic era has currently received increased attention
in educational research. Many studies have highlighted the practical changes and cultural changes
of TEFL due to the pandemic, yet such changes remain less explored in Islamic educational context.
The aim of the paper is to document the changes that occur in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools
with a particular focus on: (1) digital literacy, (2) multimodal materials, and (3) Islam moderation
contextualization. The paper presents a case study on four Islamic boarding schools in Lampung
Province, Indonesia. Data were drawn from audio-recorded teacher interviews, field notes, and
documentation. A qualitative analysis of the data revealed the importance of digital literacy
improvement for both students and teachers; the emergent needs of designing multimodal
materials; and the urgency of incorporating four pillars of Islam moderation into English language
teaching practices. It is argued that being conversant with such practical and cultural needs can be
a remarkable springboard to improve English instruction in the Islamic boarding schools during
and post pandemic era. With growing consciousness coming from this research, a multimodal
teaching material that accommodates the spirit of Islam moderation can be studied and developed
further.
