The results showed that (1) the integration of the behavior competence to the teaching of English lies on the components of planning, implementation, and assessment. The real integration is carried out by means of motivating/encouragement, warning, direction, reprimand, assignment, and reinforcement to students while participating in teaching and learning activity, (2) the obstacles faced by the English teachers (a) difficulty in reconciling the stated in lesson plan and the real activity occured in the classroom (b) difficulty in dealing with different student’s character, (c) lack of time management in teaching, (d) poor management classroom , (e) the lack of infrastructure, (3) the solutions given by the english teachers sharing with Teachers Working Group (KKG), coordinating with teacher counseling  and parents, good teacher-student relationship, and provision of adequate infrastructure.Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the integration of the spiritual attitude and social attitude lies on the components of planning, implementation, and assessment of teaching. Its implementation is done by providing reinforcement  to the internalization of attitudes. The obstacle lies on the planning and implementation.
