This research examines the lecturers' perceptions on the development of the students' bilingual communication in Indonesian Higher Education context. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches undertaken in collecting data on the differences in the way lecturers perceive students' bilingual communicative competence development and the extent to which the approaches they adopt in relation to the student's bilingual communicative competence development impact on their student's responses to their classroom. Research result demonstrates that the Indonesian higher education students in the process of becoming bilingual demonstrate some marked individual differences toward their bilingual communicative competence development in Indonesian Higher Education context. These differences appear to relate to the types of bilingual portions, experience and teaching models the students get in the classroom and these are impacted on by the attitudes towards the use of bilingual in academic setting. In conclusion, the more creative and involved the lecturers were in the process of supporting students' bilingual communicative competence development and providing opportunities for bilingual engagement and learning, the better the immediate results in terms of the student's outcomes both in L1 (Indonesian) and L2 (English) bilingual. © 2020 Asian E F L Journal Press.
