ABSTRACT
English language education in Islamic boarding schools presents unique challenges and opportunities due to their distinctive cultural and institutional characteristics. This qualitative case study investigates classroom management challenges and opportunities in teaching English at an Islamic boarding school. Through observation and interviews with three English teachers in an Islamic Boarding School in Lombok, the study identified several significant challenges including, insufficient facilities, student fatigue from numerous activities, time constraints, shortage of qualified tutors, and the non-compulsory status of English in the curriculum. However, the study also revealed notable opportunities within this educational context, particularly in terms of institutional autonomy. This autonomy manifests in greater freedom regarding rule-making, financial allocation, and pedagogical approaches. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of English language teaching within Islamic boarding school environments and suggest potential pathways for institutional improvement.
