Keywords:
love-based curriculum, language education, holistic learning, spiritual pedagogyAbstract
This article examines the concept of Love-Based Curriculum as proposed by Prof. Dr. H. Nasaruddin Umar, M.A., which emerged from the Istiqlal Declaration as a transformative paradigm.The study explores the integration of cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions in language learning through the lens of love as an educational foundation. Using qualitative analysis and literature review methodology, this research investigates how love-based pedagogy can enhance language acquisition by fostering holistic human development. The findings suggest that incorporating love as a central element in curriculum design creates more meaningful learning experiences, promotes emotional intelligence, and develops spiritual awareness among language learners. The love-based approach demonstrates significant potential for revolutionizing traditional language education by addressing not only intellectual competencies but also emotional and spiritual growth. This paradigm offers a comprehensive framework that recognizes the multidimensional nature of human learning and the importance of nurturing the whole person in educational processes.
