A case-study method was employed. Three Iban language teachers from PPD Subis and one from Miri were selected as the participants. After their consent was obtained, they were interviewed and observed. The interview transcripts was analysed using Nvivo 9. The results showed that almost all Iban language teachers, new and experienced, went through the levels of teaching processes; in terms of the level of understanding, transformation, action, evaluation, reflection and new understanding. The experience in teaching the Iban language provides all the teachers different experiences while teaching at every stage of teaching process because they were not initially teachers who specialized in Iban language. Most of the new teachers refer to the experienced teacher for preparing of their lesson pelan. While experienced Iban language teacher always refering to the old generation to get the answer for their confusion. The implication of this study shows that every teacher can teach Iban language as long as they are doing more exercises on pedagogy
