Abstract

Nowadays, many schools in Indonesia offer
bilingual programs, which use English as the medium of

Instruction acrosscontent, subjects such as Science. This
new phenomenon brings challenges for the teachers as not
all the teachers in bilingual schools have subject mastery
as well as English mastery. This studydiscovers the
challenges faced by a first grade Science teacher in a
bilingual school program (a private elementary school in
Salatiga) and theteaching strategies employed to deal with
the challenges. The results show that the teacher faced
both external and internal some challenges and the teacher
employed varying strategies to help her address those
challenges. This study can give valuable inputs on
improving bilingual education programs in Indonesia.
