Abstract
Using English as a medium of instruction provides linguistic benefits to the students. English which is used can elevate vocabulary, grammar and language functions of English. Besides, the students get more chances to practice writing, speaking, reading and listening during teaching and learning activities. Under this belief, the teachers are prescribed to be competent not only in content of subjects but also English. The teachers possession of vocabulary, grammar, and language functions is a must.It is only with the clarity of English, the teachers can help the students comprehend what the teachers feel think, instruct, command, describe, explain, clarify and so forth. This research project works with the identification of structural features and language function of English used by 3 selected Biology teachers of different Junior High Schools who are competent in English and the content of subject. This research is a qualitative design.
