      • teach using bilingual learning materials;
      • access international books and journals;

    • What is Teaching in English? Forum

      Teaching in English refers to the practice of using English as the language of communication during classroom instruction. It does not necessarily mean that all teaching must be conducted entirely in English. Instead, teachers use English strategically to introduce topics, give instructions, explain concepts, ask questions, and interact with students.

      For future Economic Education teachers, teaching in English aims to support bilingual learning and prepare students for a global learning environment.

    • Why is Teaching in English Important? Forum

      English has become the international language of education, science, and business. Many learning resources, including textbooks, research articles, and digital learning platforms, are written in English. Therefore, teachers who are able to teach using English have greater opportunities to:

      • access international educational resources;
      • improve their professional competence;
      • participate in international academic activities;
      • prepare students for global communication.

      Teaching in English also helps students become familiar with academic vocabulary related to economics and business.

    • Principles of Teaching in English Forum

      Effective teaching in English should follow several principles. 

      a. Use Simple and Clear Language

      Teachers should use short and understandable sentences.

      b. Speak Naturally

      Teachers should speak clearly and at a moderate speed.

      c. Encourage Student Participation

      Students should be encouraged to ask questions and express opinions.

      d. Use Visual Aids

      Pictures, graphs, PowerPoint slides, and videos help students understand the lesson more easily.

      e. Check Students' Understanding

      Teachers should regularly ask simple questions to ensure that students understand the material.

      When teaching in English, teachers should create a supportive environment where students feel confident to communicate.
