Malaysia is in the process of changing the medium of instruction for mathematics andscience from Malay to English since 2003. To ensure the success of this transition,teachers have to be professional prepared to teach in English. This research aimed tosurvey the Malaysian science/ mathematics teachers’ perception towards this professionalpreparation effort. An instrument called “Teachers Perception Towards the ProfessionalPreparation to Teach Mathematics/Science in English” was developed. The samples were72 Form One mathematics/science teachers in Malaysia. The research revealed that theteachers perceived that their pre-service training (M = 2.90, SD = .57) and the in-servicetraining (M = 2.99, SD = .62) is adequate in their professional preparation. However, theteachers perceived that there is a need (M = 3.18, SD = .82) for enhancing theirprofessional readiness to teach mathematics/science in English. Further analysis revealedthat 44.3 % of the sample reported that their pre-service training could not develop theirconfidence in English speaking and after the in-service training 31.4% of the teachers stillreported the same. About 84.7 % of the teachers also reported the need for training onhelping students to learn in English. The findings showed that although the teachersperceived they are professionally prepared to teach mathematics/science in English, theystill need more preparation in overcoming students’ difficulties in learning the subjects inEnglish especially for students who are weak in English or mathematics/science or both.
