Book Description:

Many Asian education systems discourage or even ban the use of L1 in L2 classrooms - although in fact L1 is widely used by teachers. Why is L1 use still devalued in this context? The book explores the impact of L1 use in L2 classrooms through observations and teacher interviews, highlighting implications for professional practice.
