Multicompetence helps teachers achieve excellence in the classroom. Teachers keep teaching effective especially when they arouse students' interest by using different teaching methods to acquire skills. This article aims to explore the role of foreign languages as one of the factors that contribute to effective teaching among teachers with excellent Islamic teaching in secondary schools. This case study research uses a qualitative approach to collect data from eight secondary schools in Malaysia. Teachers and students were interviewed and the data was analysed thematically using N'Vivo version 12.0. The result shows that the three languages mastered by teachers are Arabic, English and Urdu. The study also found that mastery of foreign languages improves the quality of teaching, attracts students' attention, increases motivation to learn and makes students enthusiastic about learning during teaching and learning sessions in Islamic Education classes. This study has produced a model that can guide teachers of Islamic education and shed light on the importance of foreign language proficiency and its role in improving the quality of their teaching to students.
