Abstract

There should be a decent complementary element to equalize the
proficiency-based learning activities attempting to breed skilled,
innovative, and knowledgeable target language academicians.
Following this belief, professional second language educators
should incessantly transmit various kinds of efficient character
education values in their daily classroom learning routines as
learners begin to showcase more promising and positive learning
behaviors in sustaining the continuity of language exposure. This
current small-scale library study was enacted to profoundly
investigate the possible pedagogical strategies second-language
educationalists can internalize to holistically infuse more
meaningful character education values in Indonesian EFL learning
dynamics. To fulfill this study objective, the researcher employed a
thematic analysis approach in this current small-scale library
investigation to systematically cluster the most identical research
results into some relatable themes. Accordingly, 20 prior character
education studies ranging from 2018 to the 2022 year were selected
to produce more reliable robust findings. From the thematically
categorized research results, the perfect embodiment of efficient
character education values was ascertained when Indonesian EFL
teachers are willing to play roles as supportive learning facilitators
and implement variegated teaching strategies in their regular
classroom learning dynamics. Some future recommendations were
also depicted for the constant advancement of this educational
research field.
