Abstract


English language is extremely important in international communication. It is used in diplomacy, business, cultural exchanges and education. As one of international languages, English is taught in almost every part of the world. Few years ago, Indonesian’ government were answering these globalization issues by designing the policies in education to promote bilingual schools. It will help them to face the issues in the world, especially the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) issues. Unfortunately, this policy has been canceled by the new government. The purpose of this paper is to describe the effectiveness of bilingual education, using two languages in the classroom and/or in teaching materials to prepare the students
face the AEC issues.
