Find an article, blog post, or research paper that discusses the use of L1 in teaching a second or foreign language. Once you've done your research, respond to the following:

Share a link to the article, blog, or paper you found.
  • Include the title and a brief summary of what it discusses regarding L1 use in the classroom.

Give your opinion on the role of L1 in the language classroom.

  • Do you think using the students’ L1 is beneficial or should the classroom be English-only (or the target language only)?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating L1 in language teaching?
  • Would you use L1 in your classroom? If so, how and when? If not, why?
Make sure to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts, comparing your views on L1 use with theirs or commenting on the article they’ve shared.
