Abstract

ABSTRACT While studies on the use of L1 in the classroom have proven beneficial for language learning, studies on the use of it in English learning materials (ELMs) are rare. This paper explores how and why the Indonesian language (L1) is used in ELMs and how teachers perceive its use in ELMs. Nine English textbooks and modules were analyzed, while two textbook and module authors were interviewed. A questionnaire was distributed to reveal English teachers’ attitudes toward the use of L1 in ELMs. It was found that all ELMs used L1 as part of their delivery approach, mainly in their front matters. Principal texts mostly use English, but L1 is often used to introduce new meanings, and when the ELMs are written for independent use to facilitate the students’ understanding, and to follow the regulations. ELMs authors believe that the use of L1 is positive but they should be used appropriately.

母语在学生英语学习材料中的运用

虽然关于在课堂上使用母语的研究已被证明对语言学习有益，但关于在英语学习材料中使用母语的研究却很少。本文探讨了在外语教学中如何以及为什么使用印尼语，以及教师如何看待印尼语在外语教学中的使用。对9种英语教材和模块进行了分析，并对两位教材和模块作者进行了访谈。通过问卷调查，了解英语教师对英语教学中使用母语的态度。研究发现，所有elm都将L1作为其递送方式的一部分，主要是在其前部事项。主要文本大多使用英语，但母语通常用于引入新的含义，当elm被编写为独立使用时，以方便学生理解，并遵循规则。elm的作者认为，L1的使用是积极的，但应该适当使用。
