The present study aimed (1) to identify the character values embedded in English as Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks for junior high schools, and (2) to describe the techniques of integrating character values in the textbooks. This study was qualitative content analysis research. Its procedure involved the inductive category formation process. It employed the note-taking as the data collection method. The data were gathered from four EFL textbooks published by government and commercial publisher. The instruments used to gather the data included the researcher as the human instrument, protocol instruction (analytical construct), and datasheet. The researcher used conformability, dependability, credibility, and peer debriefing to check the trustworthiness of the data. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the techniques of compiling, disassembling, reassembling, interpreting and concluding. This study reveals that there are various values embedded in the textbooks. The values are not limited to 18 national values proposed by the Indonesian government but also other values related to Indonesian moral values. The EFL textbooks provide the character values integrated into all parts of textbooks, including visual displays, learning objectives, text, and learning activities. There are various techniques used to integrate character values in the EFL textbooks. Thus, the integration of character values in the textbooks could be the input for the students to develop character as well as improve their knowledge and competencies.
