This study investigates whether the use of instructional media in those three different programs are different or similar. It was expected that the description of this study was beneficial as feedback for the school the English teachers and other researchers. This study was descriptive qualitative research. The subjects of this study are the students and the teachers of regular acceleration and SBI programs of SMPN 1 Malang 2008/2009 academic year. The data were obtained from the teacher and the students. The instruments used were observations interview and questionnaires. Based on the findings the use of instructional media in the teaching of English in the three different programs can be presented as follows. First the kinds of instructional media used to teach English in regular and acceleration program varied from printed materials to electronic media while those used in SBI program were mostly electronic. Second the media were used in many kinds of classroom activities. Third the media used were able to make the students active in the teaching learning process. Fourth the problem of the teachers of the three programs in using instructional media was similar which was in the preparation. Finally all students of the three programs had positive responses toward the use of instructional media. Based on the research findings some suggestions were proposed. First for the school management it is expected that they trained the teacher to use the media available in school as soon as possible especially new electronic media so that they can use the media effectively and efficiently in the teaching learning process. For the English teacher of the three programs they should have good preparation in the use of instructional media so that the instruction can be accomplished well. For the English teacher who teaches in acceleration and SBI programs it is suggested that the teacher use different approaches to teach the students of acceleration and SBI program since the two programs are different in terms of time of the study curriculum and the students intelligences (IQ). For other researchers it is recommended that they conduct other studies to investigate other aspects of instructional media in the teaching of English.
