Highly qualified and competent teachers are the key for outstanding education systems. Teachers, however, are too busy with administrative work. Accordingly conducting engaging in-service training for them is a relief, as well as a way to improve their teaching skills. The aim of this research is to report the in-service English training in a bilingual school in Yogyakarta Special Province, Indonesia, which the outcome is to improve the English skills of the teachers as a means of teaching (EMI English as a Medium of Instruction). Questionnaires, interviews, and written reflections were the techniques of collecting the data. The result of the training shows that through some light hands-on activities, the teachers motivation and engagement improved. This improvement resulted in the increase in using classroom language instructions.
