Abstract :In today\\\'s world, a structure where different languages coexist is prominent. In our country, many different languages are used in addition to Turkish. In an educational environment where different languages coexist, it is important to examine the views of teachers, who are one of the stakeholders in this process. This study aims to examine the views of primary school teachers who teach in bilingual classrooms, based on their own experiences, regarding teaching in such classrooms. The research was conducted using a qualitative research method, specifically the case study model. The study group consists of 48 primary school teachers working in primary schools affiliated with the Bitlis Provincial Directorate of National Education in the 2021-2022 academic year. These teachers were selected using the maximum variation sampling method, one of the purposive sampling techniques. Data for the research were collected through semi-structured interview forms, and the obtained data were analyzed using content analysis. According to the results of the research, the solution proposals provided by the primary school teachers regarding educating bilingual students indicate that they are mentally struggling with the process. However, it is also seen as a situation that every primary school teacher should experience.
