Yuni Kurnia Mustikawati
ABSTRACT
The use of L1 in L2 classroom has been a controversy in educational field. The L2 teachers have to make decision about their teaching method including the use of L1 in L2 classrooms. This study examined the teacher’s purposes why Indonesian is used in English classrooms. Three English teachers in three different schools participated in this study. The data was collected by observing the classroom activity (audio recording). The result showed that teachers’ purposes in using L1 are mostly to explain the meaning of words. Students usually find some difficult words in a task, and in this situation teacher should be able to explain them using L1 to make the meaning clearer.
