Designing Islamic Storybooks as Contextual English Teaching Materials for Hafidz Qur'an Students

This study aims to develop relevant and engaging English teaching materials based on Islamic stories for Hafidz Qur'an students. Employing Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, the research involves five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, pre-tests, and post-tests with 28 eighth-grade students at Tahfizhul Qur'an Ibrahim Islamic Boarding School. The findings reveal that the developed storybooks, featuring engaging narratives, vocabulary lists, and comprehension exercises, are well-received by both students and teachers. Expert validation rated the materials as "Good" with a score of 3.5/4. Students demonstrated significant improvement in reading, writing, and comprehension skills, while simultaneously internalizing Islamic moral and ethical values.
