In response to national concerns towards diverse complicated cases leading to moral degradation in Indonesia, the Ministry of National Education has determined to integrate character education into Indonesian classroom instruction. This policy has inevitably demanded teachers, lecturers, and educational practitioners to be more creative and innovative in preparing a more challenging, interesting, and inspiring course design. Now, English teachers have to integrate not only such crucial elements as higher-order thinking skills and learning strategies but also character education into their English instruction. This article aims at previewing strategies to integrate character education into learning tasks. Having been inherent in learning materials, tasks must be well-designed to reach one of the goals of tasks, i.e. to internalize good characters to students. The strategies for integration that will be outlined in this paper depart from the design of the components of a task that consist of: 1) goal, 2) input, 3) procedure, 4) learner role, 5) teacher role, and 6) setting. By systematically integrating character education into learning tasks design, teachers, lecturers, and educational practitioners have consciously put their commitment to invest good and noble characters in the lives of their students.
