This was a qualitative case study aimed to investigate the impact of using one of the methods from the context of Professional Learning Community (PLC) in a rural school. Interviews and Observations were done purposively with a few students form Form 3 and teachers from the English Panel from the school. The data collected was analysed with open coding system. Professional learning community (PLC) is an extended learning opportunity to foster collaborative learning among colleagues within a particular work environment or field. It is often used in schools as a way to organize teachers into working groups. Result showed that the rural schools are not really ready with the new approach and more of the PLC approaches can be done to improve the level of confidence.
