Own-language use in ELT: exploring global practices and attitudes

Abstract

In this research paper Graham Hall and Guy Cook explore teacher attitudes to own-language use in the classroom. They conducted a global survey and interviews with practising teachers. They found evidence of widespread own-language use within ELT, and suggest that teachers’ attitudes towards own-language use, and their classroom practices, are more complex than usually acknowledged. \n \nThe findings also suggest that there is a potential gap between mainstream ELT literature and teachers’ practices on the ground.
