The historical development of the foreign language teaching methods is studied, it is observed that the dispute over the use of the native language (L1) has kept its liveliness in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classes. While some condemn the use of L1, others argue the monolingual approaches like the English-Only policy are not educational. However, with the evolution of English into a global language, foreign language teaching methods have been diversified and the ban on L1 use has come into question. In this study, classroom discourse analyses and research on teacherstudent ideas about L1 use were outlined and when, how much and why L1 is used in the EFL classes were discussed.

Yabancı dil öğretim yöntemlerinin tarihsel gelişimi incelendiğinde İngilizcenin yabancı dil olarak öğretildiği sınıflarda ana dil kullanımı konusundaki tartışmanın canlılığını koruduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Kimi çevreler ana dil kullanımını yasaklarken kimileri Sadece İngilizce politikası gibi tekdilli yaklaşımların eğitsel olmadığını savunmuştur. Ancak İngilizcenin küresel bir dile dönüşmesiyle yabancı dil öğretim yöntemleri çeşitlenmiş ve ana dil yasağı sorgulanmaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmada ana dil kullanımına ilişkin sınıfiçi söylem çözümlemeleri ile öğretmen-öğrenci görüşlerini betimleyen araştırmalar taranmış ve yabancı dil sınıflarında ana dilin ne zaman, ne kadar ve neden kullanıldığı tartışılmıştır.
