Popis:	Dual Language Programme (DLP) was introduced to improve the level of English proficiency among students. This has become a hot topic since the Ministry of Education (MOE) was requested to review the implementation of DLP as the teachers and students face challenges in teaching and learning of Science and Mathematics in English. Thus, this study aims to identify the teachers’ and students’ insights on DLP and the challenges they faced after the implementation. The data were obtained through a questionnaire. A total of 146 DLP students consisting of Form 1 and Form 2 students and 8 teachers from four secondary schools in Klang, Selangor participated in this study. Besides, semi-structured interviews were carried out among the teachers as well. The finding shows that most of the teachers and students have positive views towards the implementation of DLP, although they faced some challenges. Moreover, students are keen to learn Science and Mathematics in English even though their English proficiency still at the unsatisfying level.
