This paper proposes new
ways of reimplementing a form of bilingual education in Indonesia. Bilingual
education was once implemented at international standard schools in Indonesia
but failed for some reasons. The authors propose a more suitable form of bilingual
education in Indonesia based on language acquisition theories which suggest
that bilingual education should be developed on the basis of content-based
instruction focusing on visual and physical ways of teaching. In this respect,
physical education and arts should be prioritised over mathematics, ICT, and
science subjects.
