Bilingual Program, Natural School, Language Nurturing ProgramAbstract
The aims of this research are to find out how the bilingual program is implemented in SMP Alam Al-Izzah, the challenges faced by the teachers, and how teachers overcome them. The paper provides the outcomes of observations and interviews using a qualitative research design on a selected case study. The results demonstrate that this natural school has created bilingual program called LNP (Language Nurturing Program), which emphasizes habituation of the target language with audio vocabulary, where students must memorize it and perform language output by depositing vocabulary with teachers. The LNP program, which is made in accordance with the needs and the natural and government curricula, is considered quite effective, as seen by how well students and teachers can adjust to the use of English at school. Although the teachers' different educational backgrounds pose some difficulties, the school can overcome through the LNP for teachers.
