description: There are different opinions about the use of L1 (mother language) in<br> the English language classrooms. Some are positively oriented towards L1<br> use in the classroom, while others argue for avoiding L1 in the language<br> classes. In the process of teaching a foreign language, the role, necessity or<br> obligation of the first language (L1) are issues for debate. Different kinds of<br> methodologies and approaches have been referred to in order to inquire the<br> role of the native language in second language teaching and learning. This<br> research inquiry re-visits an ongoing controversy of the native language use<br> in hopes to evaluate the changing position of L1 in English language class,<br> and give more informed and conscious decisions about L1 (native language)<br> use in the English language classroom.
