Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of bilingualism in teaching and learning English to VIII grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Pancarijang, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. Bilingualism in this context refers to the use of two languages, namely Indonesian and English, in the learning process to help students' understanding of the material. This study used a descriptive quantitative approach with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire containing 15 statements compiled based on indicators of bilingualism in learning. The research subjects were 95 students of grade VIII who were selected based on purposive sampling technique with a margin of error of 5%.

The results showed that the majority of students had a positive perception of the implementation of bilingualism. A total of 64.21% of students were in the “Good” category, 15.79% in the “Very Good” category, 17.89% in the ‘Less’ category, and only 2.11% in the “Very Less” category.

Based on these results, it is concluded that the bilingual approach in teaching English in class VIII is quite effective. This study recommends that teachers continue to integrate both languages in the learning process and develop more varied bilingual strategies so that all students can get the maximum benefit.
