WORDS WITH WORTH: VALUE-BASED ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION

The teaching of values through English language instruction is the main emphasis of this study. Itreviews the relevant literature and investigates the potential for incorporating values into Englishlanguage learning exercises. An alternate approach to fostering students' social and intellectualcompetency is value-oriented education. It was created in reaction to the troubling problems ofchildren's abnormal attitudes and behaviors. It also goes against the current educational trend,which places more focus on economic growth, job opportunities, and academic accomplishmentalone. As a result, pupils in schools prioritize mainly academic proficiency in order to increasetheir chances of finding jobs. Few people aspire to succeed in both their academic and social lives,but they also have lives outside of their homes and schools; the social life. According to the study,incorporating values into English language instruction is a challenging undertaking. To pursueobjectives that go beyond the curriculum's substance, instructors must be innovative and creative.The difficulty is that since the curriculum occasionally omits important values, English languageinstructors must create their own lesson programs. Teachers advise against forcing their personalbeliefs or those of a specific culture on their students in the classroom. The teaching and learning oflanguages need not necessarily be focused entirely on the acquisition of language skills. While theprimary aim of language instruction is enhanced proficiency in a language, we need to inculcatevalues- moral, spiritual, human, ethical, etc. in our teaching and learning activities.
