شماره ركورد

Abstract
When the historical development of the foreign language teaching methods is studied, it is observed that the dispute over the use of the native language (L1) has kept its liveliness in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classes. While some condemn the use of L1, others argue the monolingual approaches like the English-Only policy are not educational. However, with the evolution of English into a global language, foreign language teaching methods have been diversified and the ban on L1 use has come into question. In this study, classroom discourse analyses and research on teacher-student ideas about L1 use were outlined and when, how much and why L1 is used in the EFL classes were discussed.
