The Use of L1 in L2 Context

Meer over het boek

The book explores the role of learners' first language (L1) in teaching subjects like English and Mathematics, challenging the belief that exclusive use of the second language (L2) enhances learning. Through research conducted in a private Kuwaiti college adhering to an English-only policy, it examines attitudes of students, professors, and stakeholders towards L1 use in the classroom. The study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating L1, the extent of its use by students, and the perspectives of various educational participants on this approach.
