Penelitian lanjutan perlu dilakukan untuk mengembangkan model pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang secara eksplisit mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai moderasi beragama, tidak hanya melalui konten tetapi juga melalui aktivitas dan pendekatan pedagogis yang mendorong dialog antaragama dan pemahaman lintas budaya. Selain itu, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengembangan instrumen evaluasi yang komprehensif untuk menilai sejauh mana materi ajar bahasa Inggris mencerminkan nilai-nilai moderasi beragama, sehingga dapat digunakan oleh pengembang materi ajar dan pembuat kebijakan. Terakhir, studi kualitatif mendalam perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi persepsi dan pengalaman guru dalam mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai moderasi beragama dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, serta tantangan dan strategi yang mereka hadapi, guna memberikan rekomendasi praktis untuk peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran.
