In today's world of education, teachers need to be prepared to complete their knowledge both in the context of theoretical and practical knowledge. One of the things that teachers need to master is the application of the Dual Language Program (DLP) which is implemented in the teaching of Science and Mathematics. This is done to provide teachers with sufficient knowledge to face the challenges of education in the globalization era. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the level of readiness of teachers in the interior of Sarawak in the use of DLP in teaching mathematics. This study, is in the form of a case study, which was conducted on 80 secondary school mathematics teacher respondents in the interior of Sarawak. The selection of respondents was done using purposive sampling. Data analysis was done with the help of Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0 software to analyze the research hypothesis that had been constructed. The findings of the study show that the level of teacher readiness is at a good level which is the mean value of 4.3389 in the implementation and the standard deviation value is 7.4039 while the level of DLP use the mean value is 4.2109 and the standard deviation value is 61835. In addition, the findings of the study also found that there is a significant positive relationship between the level of teacher readiness with the use of DLP in mathematics subjects. In relation to that, it is suggested that in the future it is necessary to create more studies in the context of DLP in mathematics subjects in order to create more corpus of new knowledge
