This thesis discussed teachers’ strategies in teaching English to introvert students’. In teaching and learning process, the teachers faced some difficulties to cooperate with the introvert students. They need to give serious consideration to engage various characters of introvert students to be well-motivated in the classroom. The aim of this study is to find out various strategies in accommodating introvert students’ needs in learning English. The researcher used qualitative research and took purposive sampling to get the participants. The data collection process was carried out by interviewing three English teachers at MTsN 2 Suak Bakong. The results show that there are some strategies to support the introvert students, for instance, demonstration, cased-based small-group discussion, games, independent study and peer teaching. All of the participants have positive responses in teaching to introvert students. The participants assumed that the strategies are effective to establish the motivation of introvert students and reach the target of learning. However, the strategies depend on the dedication of the teachers to accomplish the obstacles and being creative to persuade all students to engage in the learning process. The teacher should give best efforts to be able to stimulate introvert students to be active in the class.
