ABSTRACT
This paper examines how English Foreign Language (EFL) teacher candidates perceive value integration in their experiences and how it is realized through their practice. An online survey followed by in-depth interviews with 15 student teachers in a teacher professional program was held in a state-owned teacher training college. This study is expected to provide early insights to what extent 18 values in character education enacted by the minister of education can be and have been instilled in a language learning setting. The initial result is projected to benefit teachers with respect to the curricular burden in terms of value integration in their instructional practice. Further implications on English language teaching at large is discussed in the light of 21st century skills.
