INTRODUCTION
In an increasingly connected and multicultural global context.
Islamic religious education faces a major challenge in remaining relevant and effective in conveying spiritual and moral values to the younger generation.
Madrasah Aliyah, as an Islamic-based secondary education institution in Indonesia, is at the forefront of addressing this challenge.
One of the responses to current developments is the implementation of bilingual systems in some Madrasah Aliyah, aiming to enhance the global competitiveness of their graduates.
Therefore, innovation in teachingAiespecially in Islamic Religious Education (PAI)Aiis crucial to ensure that learning remains relevant to the demands of the times without compromising the fundamental values of Islam.

: 2115-2124 2116 of 2124 Meanwhile, the trend of bilingual education is gaining increasing attention worldwide due to its potential in preparing students to participate in a global society (Baker, 2.
The integration of bilingual education into the Madrasah Aliyah system offers a unique opportunity to combine Islamic religious instruction with international language competencies, but it also creates new complexities in the learning and teaching process.
Although several studies have discussed innovations in Islamic religious education (Lubis et al.
and the implementation of bilingual programs in Indonesian schools ((Jayanti & Sujarwo, 2.
, there remains a significant gap in the literature regarding specific innovations in PAI learning within the context of bilingual Madrasah Aliyah.
With their dual characteristics as religious education institutions and bilingual schools.
Madrasah Aliyah face unique needs and challenges.
Therefore, this study aims to fill that gap by conducting a systematic review of the existing literature, identifying innovative practices that have been implemented, and analyzing the challenges and opportunities that arise in this context.
As such, the findings are expected to provide a strong empirical foundation for the development of more effective educational policies and practices in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah in the Innovation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at Madrasah Aliyah has become an important focus in efforts to improve the quality of religious education in Indonesia (Nurlaeli, 2.
Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah, as institutions that apply two languages in the learning process, face unique challenges in integrating innovative learning methods with the PAI curriculum (Nur, 2.
Educational innovation is expected to respond to the rapidly evolving needs of the times and help students understand and practice Islamic teachings more effectively and relevantly (Bali & Hajriyah.
PAI learning innovations cover various aspects, ranging from the use of educational technology, adaptive curriculum development, to more interactive and participatory pedagogical approaches (Romadanti, 2.
The use of technology such as e-learning and interactive learning applications has been proven to increase student engagement and make access to learning materials easier (Utami & Dewi, 2.
In addition, pedagogical approaches that emphasize collaboration, group discussions, and problem-solving can help students deepen their understanding of PAI content and apply it in daily life (Musyafak & Subhi, 2.
Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah, with their foundation in the use of two languages, have great potential to develop innovative models of PAI learning (Nur, 2.
Bilingual learning can enrich studentsAo understanding of Islamic literature, which is available in various languages, including Arabic and English (Afifuddin & Nuha, 2.
However, the challenge lies in developing a curriculum that not only meets national standards but also competes globally by leveraging the advantages of bilingualism.
This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method to collect and analyze various studies related to PAI learning innovations in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah.
The SLR approach enables researchers to systematically and comprehensively evaluate and synthesize previous findings, thereby providing a clear picture of trends and directions in the development of PAI learning innovations.
One notable innovation is the use of digital technology in learning (Farida et al.
, 2.
Studies show that the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in PAI learning can increase studentsAo motivation and facilitate understanding of complex material (Fauziyati & Mariana, 2.
concrete example is the use of e-learning platforms and social media for discussion and sharing of materials, allowing learning to continue beyond school hours.
In addition, innovation in teaching methodology is another key focus.
The constructivist approach, which encourages students to build their own knowledge through direct experience and reflection, has proven effective in PAI learning.
This method not only enhances studentsAo cognitive understanding but also develops the critical and analytical skills needed to understand and apply Islamic teachings in modern life contexts.
Innovations in PAI teaching methodologies in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah have shown significant development in recent years.
The constructivist approach, emphasizing the active role of students in Machfud Bachtiyar et al.

: 2115-2124 2117 of 2124 constructing their own knowledge, has proven effective in improving the comprehension and application of Islamic teachings.
According to Lubis et al.
, the implementation of inquiry-based and problem-solving learning strategies in PAI can improve studentsAo ability to analyze and apply Islamic concepts in daily life.
Meanwhile.
Noh et al.

Raihani .
stated that using English as a medium of instruction in PAI not only improves studentsAo language proficiency but also prepares them to engage in global discussions about Islam.
This aligns with findings showing that bilingual programs in Indonesian high schools can enhance students' multicultural awareness (Jayanti & Sujarwo, 2.
However.
Ashraf .
cautions that the implementation of a bilingual approach in Islamic Religious Education must be conducted carefully to ensure that the essence and depth of Islamic teachings are not diluted through translation and linguistic adaptation.
Therefore, innovations in PAI teaching methodologies in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah must continue to be developed by maintaining a balance between the goals of religious education, language competence, and 21st-century skills.
Developing a flexible and adaptive curriculum is also a key aspect of innovation in PAI learning (Nurlaeli, 2.
A curriculum that can adapt to changing times and studentsAo needs ensures that religious education remains relevant and beneficial to studentsAo lives.
In bilingual Madrasah Aliyah, a curriculum that incorporates Islamic literature in multiple languages and integrates Islamic values with modern science can provide a strong foundation for character building.
However, implementing such innovations is not without challenges.
One major challenge is the readiness of teachers to adopt new methods and technologies.
Professional training and development for PAI teachers are crucial to ensure they possess the competencies required to teach in innovative and effective ways.
Furthermore, support from school leadership and the existence of supportive educational policies are essential for promoting and sustaining innovation in PAI learning.
Therefore, this study aims to conduct a Systematic Literature Review to identify, analyze, and synthesize various PAI learning innovations implemented in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah, as well as explore the factors influencing the success of these innovations.
The findings are expected to provide valuable insights and serve as a reference for policymakers and education practitioners in designing and implementing more effective and innovative PAI learning strategies in bilingual Madrasah Aliyah.
METHODS

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
From the results of several selected articles, each article can be grouped and analyzed according to the following three themes: Use of Digital Technology.
Adaptive Curriculum Development, and Interactive Pedagogical Approaches.
1 Use of Digital Technology The integration of digital technology in Islamic education, particularly at Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah institutions, illustrates a forward-thinking approach to improving learning outcomes.
One such initiative involves the use of podcast technology to enhance studentsAo motivation in Akidah Akhlak lessons at Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah Krian.
Sidoarjo.
Podcasts offer an accessible, flexible, and engaging platform that aligns with studentsAo digital habits.
By allowing learners to consume educational content at their own pace and in a format they find relatable, podcasts encourage greater autonomy and foster deeper engagement.
These audio-based tools also create opportunities for reflective learning and critical thinking by presenting moral and religious teachings in a conversational Research by Huda et al.
found that podcast integration in Akidah Akhlak significantly increased studentsAo learning motivation and participation.
The implementation of this technology not only aligns with modern pedagogical principles but also demonstrates how Islamic education can maintain its spiritual foundations while embracing contemporary tools.
In contrast.
Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah Batu adapted to the educational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic through the implementation of virtual learning.
Faced with the challenge of restricted physical access, the institution swiftly transitioned to online platforms, ensuring continuity in teaching and learning.
The use of video conferencing, digital assessments, and collaborative tools allowed students and teachers to remain connected and engaged despite the distance.
According to Sinollah et al.
, the adoption of virtual learning in this context not only ensured educational continuity but also empowered students and educators to develop digital competencies.
This transition served as a catalyst for broader digital transformation within the madrasah system.
It challenged the Machfud Bachtiyar et al.

: 2115-2124 2120 of 2124 conventional perception that Islamic institutions are slow to adopt technological innovations, instead revealing a capacity for resilience and adaptability in times of crisis.
The use of both podcast and virtual learning technologies reflects a commitment by these institutions to modernize Islamic education without compromising its core values.
These practices are supported by foundational educational theories.
For instance.
Self-Determination Theory emphasizes the role of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in fostering intrinsic motivationAielements that are actively supported through podcast-based learning (Deci & Ryan, 1.
MayerAos Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning also supports the use of auditory and visual inputs to improve cognitive processing, which is applicable in both podcast and virtual environments (Mayer, 2.
Furthermore.
VygotskyAos Constructivist Theory underlines the importance of social interaction and scaffolding, principles evident in the collaborative nature of virtual classrooms (Vygotsky, 1.
These theoretical frameworks validate the pedagogical soundness of the approaches implemented in the madrasah Ultimately, the integration of these digital tools into the curriculum at Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah demonstrates that Islamic educational institutions are not only responding to present-day challenges but are also preparing students for the demands of a digitally-driven future.
These innovations show a balanced commitment to tradition and modernity, ensuring that students receive a holistic education that is both spiritually grounded and technologically relevant.
2 Adaptive Curriculum Development The role of library management in enhancing studentsAo interest in reading is a critical component in improving the quality of education in Islamic schools, particularly at institutions like Junwangi Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah in Sidoarjo.
The library is not merely a repository of books but functions as a vibrant learning hub that supports academic inquiry, independent reading, and literacy development outside the traditional classroom.
Effective library managementAicharacterized by diverse book collections, literacy initiatives, student-centered programs, and active promotion of readingAihas been shown to significantly increase students' engagement with reading materials (Wisdom, 2.
Research supports this, with Lance and Kachel .
demonstrating that strong library programs correlate with improved student achievement in reading and writing.
Furthermore.
KrashenAos .
Free Voluntary Reading (FVR) theory reinforces the value of encouraging students to read materials of personal interest, asserting that motivation and proficiency in reading flourish when learners are exposed to selfselected and enjoyable texts.
When strategically managed, the school library can serve as a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment that promotes lifelong learning, digital literacy, and research In parallel, the implementation of the Bilingual Class System (BCS) curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 2 Kudus offers an innovative and adaptive approach to educational improvement.
The BCS model introduces English as the medium of instruction in key subjects such as science and mathematics, aiming to equip students with both academic knowledge and global communication Nasirudin .

aligning curriculum content with English-medium instruction.
MAN 2 Kudus prepares students for academic and professional contexts beyond the local environment while preserving their religious To implement the BCS effectively.
MAN 2 Kudus employs interactive modules, bilingual textbooks, and project-based learning strategies.
Teachers receive specialized training in scaffolding techniques to gradually build studentsAo linguistic and cognitive proficiency.
For instance, science projects are designed for collaborative group work, requiring students to conduct research and present Machfud Bachtiyar et al.

These strategies not only demonstrate institutional adaptability but also reflect a progressive vision for Islamic educationAi one that balances tradition with innovation and ensures students are prepared for the demands of the 21st century.
3 Interactive Pedagogical Approach The AuArabic DayAy program at Madrasah Aliyah Bilingual Junwangi Krian Sidoarjo represents an innovative and student-centered approach to Arabic language development.
Designed as a supplementary yet strategic initiative, this program extends learning beyond the classroom through immersive and communicative activities.
Conducted outside of regular class hours.
AuArabic DayAy creates opportunities for students to engage in meaningful use of Arabic in real-life situationsAithrough peer discussions, language games, and role-plays.
This aligns with the principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), which emphasizes authentic communication over rote memorization (Richards & Rodgers, 2.
In practice, students are encouraged to apply their Arabic skills in interactive and relaxed settings, thereby reinforcing vocabulary retention, grammar acquisition, and speaking fluency.
The initiative is further supported by KrashenAos .
Affective Filter Hypothesis, which posits that learners acquire languages more effectively when anxiety is reduced and motivation is high.
AuArabic DayAy effectively lowers the affective filter by fostering an engaging, low-stress environment that promotes confidence and spontaneous language use.
Empirical insights from Wisdom .
show that students who regularly participate in these activities exhibit marked improvements in communicative competence, cultural understanding, and overall classroom Parallel to this, the implementation of the experiential learning method in the teaching of hadith at Al-Amanah Modern Islamic Boarding School offers another example of pedagogical innovation rooted in student engagement.
This method draws upon KolbAos Experiential Learning Theory .
, which emphasizes learning as a cyclical process involving concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
In the context of hadith education, students are exposed to stories that contextualize the teachings, followed by exercises and presentations that help them apply the knowledge in practical and personal contexts (SaAodiyah, 2.
For example, after hearing a hadith, students may discuss its implications, simulate real-life applications, and reflect on how its message can inform ethical behavior.
This process allows learners to internalize the religious teachings not merely as abstract knowledge, but as guiding principles for daily life.
MezirowAos .
concept of transformative learning supports this approach, emphasizing that critical reflection on direct experience can lead to profound shifts in worldview and behavior.
Beard and Wilson .
further argue that experiential learning enhances cognitive development and moral reasoning by engaging multiple sensory and emotional dimensions.
Findings from Al-Amanah indicate that students taught through experiential learning show stronger retention of hadith content and a deeper understanding of its relevance to contemporary life.

: 2115-2124 2122 of 2124 These two instructional modelsAiArabic Day and experiential learning in hadithAihighlight how Islamic educational institutions are adapting innovative methods to meet the evolving needs of Both approaches prioritize meaningful interaction, contextual learning, and student They are grounded in well-established educational theories and are evaluated using performance-based assessments, reflective journals, and oral presentations.
According to Biggs and Tang .
, aligning instructional strategies with clear learning outcomes ensures that pedagogy is both effective and measurable.
In the case of AuArabic Day,Ay outcomes include improved communicative fluency and reduced language anxiety.
For experiential hadith learning, the outcomes focus on enhanced cognitive engagement and personal moral development.
Together, these practices reflect a broader commitment within Islamic education to cultivate not only intellectual growth but also ethical and emotional intelligence.
By integrating interactive, real-world applications into their curricula, madrasahs are equipping students with the tools to thrive both academically and spiritually in an increasingly complex world.
CONCLUSION
This research concludes that Islamic educational institutions, particularly Bilingual Madrasah Aliyah, are actively implementing innovative strategies to enhance the quality of education.
These innovations fall under three major themes: digital technology integration, adaptive curriculum development, and interactive pedagogical approaches.
The findings reveal that the use of digital tools such as podcasts and virtual learning platforms has successfully increased studentsAo motivation and ensured learning continuity, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In terms of curriculum development, effective library management has boosted studentsAo interest in reading, while the Bilingual Class System has helped equip students with the linguistic and academic competencies needed to meet global demands.
Additionally, interactive pedagogical methodsAisuch as the AuArabic DayAy program and experiential learning in hadith instructionAihave enhanced studentsAo language skills and cognitive development by promoting real-world application and active engagement.
However, this study is limited by its scope, as it primarily draws on qualitative analysis from selected case studies and does not include a broader range of Islamic educational institutions or quantitative measurements of student outcomes.
Future research should consider incorporating larger, more diverse samples and employ mixed-method approaches to assess the long-term impact of these innovations on student achievement, motivation, and character development.
Expanding the research to include comparative studies across different regions and institutional types could also offer a more comprehensive understanding of how Islamic education is evolving in response to contemporary educational challenges.
