Resumen
PAN, Yi-chun y PAN, Yi-ching. The Use of L1 in the Foreign Language Classroom. Colomb. Appl. Linguist. J. [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.2, pp.87-96. ISSN 0123-4641.
L1 use is a common occurrence in foreign language teaching contexts despite the fact that it often receives criticism for its interference with target language (TL) acquisition. While foreign language teachers should maximize their use of the TL, there is indeed a place for the teacher to use the students' L1 in their pedagogy. In this paper, an argument derived from theoretical perspectives and empirical research within existing literature supporting the appropriate use of L1 in foreign language classrooms is presented. The argument addresses three key issues-rationales for L1 use, positive effects L1 has on both foreign language learning and instruction, and ways that L1 assists instructors on foreign languages.
