Determining English Language Teachers Attitudes toward Using the Mother Tongue in the EFL Classroom
2007
Overview
This study aimed at determining English language teachers' attitudes toward using the mother tongue in the EFL classroom. Surveying the related literature, it was revealed that these methodologists, teachers, and researchers differ in their views toward using the mother tongue in the EFL classroom. But some of them have made a balance in using L1 in teaching L2. For example, Nation (2001); Eadie (1999) suggested using L1 because of many reasons First, it is more relaxing and natural to use the L1 with others who have the same L1. Second, it is easier and more communicatively effective to use the L1, and third, using the L2 can be a source of embarrass¬ment and stress, precisely, for shy learners and those who feel they are not very proficientintheL2andnotasproficientastheirclassmates. TheL1isused as a valuable resource for remaining on task in the L2. The researcher developed a questionnaire which consisted of five domains: reading, writing, speaking, listening and \"other situations\" domain. The study was conducted on 80 male and female teachers who serve in Qalqilya City District. SPSS Package was used to analyze collected data. Results revealed that English language teachers' attitudes toward using the mother tongue in the EFL classroom were positive on the first domain which is reading and negative on writing, speaking , listening , and other situations domains and the total score of the domains. The researcher recommended determining parents' and students' attitudes towards the mother tongue use in the EFL classrooms .Also, it was recom¬mended that courses in the use and implementation of L1 to teach L2 could be taught to the EFL teachers in the field of bilingual Education.
