Description

The use of students’ first language (L1) to learn their second language has been a controversial issue in ELT (English Language Teaching) literature and academic discussions. The following article investigates published research that was carried out on the use of L1 for teaching and learning English language within the last 35 years until 2018, mainly focusing on EFL (English as a foreign language) learning in Japan. The paper concludes that English should be clearly prioritized as the main language used in the EFL classroom, and also that students’ L1 is a rich resource and linguistic foundation which should be used for learning English.
