Many teachers avoid students’ L1 in the classroom. They find students learn fastest in an immersive classroom. ‘English only’ signs or other materials decorate walls to make the classroom feel more ‘English’. If students find this helpful, it may be useful to limit or stop L1 use in this kind of classroom.
However, others believe that students’ L1 can help them to understand new ideas and language more easily. The L1 can provide comfort and familiarity, boosting students’ confidence. An English-only classroom can be intimidating. For students who cannot keep up with the lesson, motivation may drop if they believe there’s no way to catch up.
