For data analysis, the data were analyzed to identify the aims of teachers’ used Indonesian based on Cameron categories (2001). The result of this research shows that explaining new language – translation become the most dominant category applied by two teachers (50%) followed by checking understanding (20.6% and 19.4%), feedback (17.6% and 16.7%), and giving instructions (11.8% and 13.5%). It can be concluded that the teachers of SMAN 1 Unggul Baitussalam more often used Indonesian when explaining or translating new words than checking understanding, feedback, and giving instructions.
