I agree with the Busra. As L1 use in L2 classroom will not have a meaning to use just L2 in a foreign language classroom like in an elementary level, I also believe the importance of L1 use. L1 use is very important while checking whether they understand or not.. Also, it is important to explain a structure for the first time; L1 should often be used, of course according to the level. I think it is an important factor to decide to use L1. If we are teaching in an advanced level classroom, we do not need to use L1 in any case and actually we should not use. Moreover, its applicability is changeable according to different learner profiles. In Turkey, we can apply L1 use in classrooms and, in fact, most of the teachers use it already. And it should more often be used in a class for young learners rather than adults. I totally agree with Busra. And I think her choice is very good. I like the article very much. Thank you :)
