The advantages of using the mother tongue cannot be disregarded. Some advantages of 
using L1 can be listed by summarizing researchers’ ideas as below: 
1. It reduces learner anxiety and creates a more relaxing learning environment, 
2. It is a means of bringing the learners’ cultural background knowledge into the class, 
3. It facilitates checking understanding and giving instructions, 
4. It facilitates the task of explaining the meaning of abstract words and of tintroducing the 
main differences in grammar and pronunciation between L1 and L2. Secondly, the other advantages 
summarized by researchers as shown below: 
1. L1 use gives a sense of security and helps learners to be stress-free. 
2. A foreign language friendly asset people bring to the task of FL learning. 
3. The use of the L1 saves learners from a feeling of frustration they might have within 
their FL learning. 
4. L1 techniques allow teachers to use richer and more authentic texts, which mean more 
comprehensible input and faster acquisition. 
5. All-newly-acquired FL items have to sink roots in our minds which are eventually deep 
enough for the items to function independently of the L1”. 
Furthermore, based on the researcher’s experience, in addition to the above mentioned 
advantages presented for the use of native language of the learners 
1 http://www.birmingham.ac.uk inside the classroom in some situations other benefits can 
be listed below:2 
1. Native language saves great deal of time 
2. Helps clarify the meaning of difficult words 
3. Prevents the misunderstanding of the meaning of new word 
4. Helps to explain grammar rules 
5. Provides a sense of security and confidence 
6. Provides a better possibility to give instructions more effectively 
In fact, there is no fixed rule that you should never use native language in English class and 
it cannot be rejected since it fulfills certain functions and purposes for the learners. It is evident 
from the aforesaid discussion that the use of mother tongue in teaching and learning English is 
inhabitable. In a steady process the students at different level foster linguistic, cultural and 
intellectual vigor. The linguistic experience in the home often becomes the foundation of their 
future learning. Thus, instead of using mother tongue frequently all through the class, the teachers 
very sensitively, judiciously and methodically handle it in monolingual, bilingual and multilingual 
classes with care and concern. Interest in the teaching English to young learners has been steadily 
growing in recent years. Now English is offered in primary and even in pre-school education. It is 
worth remembering that every child has his of her own inner incentive for learning a foreign 
language and number of reasons for teaching English at the primary level. Here are the basic ones: 
-The most favorable period for linguistic development can be used successfully to form a 
solid basis for further linguistic education; 
- an early start provides maximum learning time for English as a foreign language – the 
earlier you start the more time you have to learn; 
- children who learn a first foreign language at pre-school or primary school levels have a 
better chance to take a second foreign language in the secondary school; 
- from an early age children are exposed to the cultures of the countries where the target 
language is spoken; 
- they grow up tolerant and sympathetic to other people; 
- learning a foreign language at early age, apart from practical value, stimulates children‘s 
ability to use their mother tongue better; 
- learning languages improves children‘s memory, thinking, perception, imagination, etc.
