Bangkok, Thailand, 27-28 January 2012, page 16-29. Fulltext: Mizuka Tsukamoto.pdf (91.97KB) Isi artikel Language use in an EFL classroom is an ongoing debate among teachers. Some have supported the idea of maintaining the Target Language (TL) only approach in order to enhance learner development, while others have stated that use of the learners’ L1 has a crucial and facilitating role in the language classroom. This paper will introduce a study that was conducted in a Japanese university. Despite the low proficiency level of the students, I, the teacher researcher, managed a classroom where the students were allowed limited amount of L1 use. Following the introduction of past research on language use in language classrooms, I report on the result of the questionnaire on how the students felt in my TL-maximised classroom. The findings have implications that action research or further qualitative research would play an important part in considering the students’ perspectives towards an efficient and effective EFL learning environment.
