  1. TO USE THE L1 IN THE SECOND LANGUAGE CLASSROOM OR NOT.... TELLE est la question....

  2. YOU USE THE L1?!!

  3. CAVEATS & CLARIFICATIONS 1) Belief that the L1 be used in “beginner level” classrooms (sparingly at the intermediate level). 2) L1 used only when needed and primarily for lexical and form-related comparisons during lectures/discussions. 3) Does not imply that the use of the L1 is superior (in defense against those who would consider L1 use bad pedagogy). 4) Exclusive use of the L2 when students are performing in-class tasks (no exceptions).

  9. So with all the possible benefits of using the L1...why the irrational fear??
