Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges and propose improvements for the implementation of the Dual Language Programme (DLP) in primary schools. This programme, which involves teaching Science and Mathematics in English, is seen as a measure to enhance English language proficiency among pupils. However, its implementation faces various obstacles, including a shortage of trained teachers, low English proficiency among both teachers and pupils, as well as limited parental support and inadequate teaching materials. This study proposes continuous professional training, improvement of the bilingual curriculum, and strong support from administrators, parents, and the Ministry of Education to ensure the effectiveness of DLP implementation in the Lubok Antu district.
