This study aims to identify the Science teachers’ level of concern towards the implementation of Dual Language Programme (DLP) in primary schools in Sri Aman District. Concern Based Adaptation Model (CBAM) is applied as the theoretical framework. Meanwhile, the adapted Stage of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ) is used as a research instrument to determine the level of teacher’s concern. A total of 45 Science teachers were selected by using purposive sampling method. Descriptive data analysis was conducted to generate demographic group profiles as well as general profiles of teachers’concerns based on the SoCQ Quick Scoring Device guidelines. The results of the study found both types of profiles; general and demographic, showed high concern for awareness (Stage 0), information (Stagel 1) and personal (Stage 2), whereas, low concern intensity scores for collaboration (Stage 5) and refocusing (Stage 6). Such concern level profiles reflect that teachers show little involvement with, general awareness of and uncertain feeling towards the DLP. The results are important for the stakeholders to provide intervention programmes to support teachers to undergo the curriculum innovation.
