Hello all fellow B4B!
Well, I thought and I thought about my very fiirst blog theme...
Then I suddenly remebered that there has always been this doubt among fellow ESL/EFL teachers: whether we use only English throughout our lesson or we use our students' mother tongue to elicit their doubts!
Well, why not take this learning experience and discuss this important topic with other teachers worldwide...
Go ahead, make my day...leave your comment!

According to the recent second language acquisition theories, mother tongue should be used while teaching a second language for clarification, gap filling, etc. I usually try to avoid that and focus on other ways of transmitting information - I use visuals, analogies and synonyms, draw on the blackboard, play mime games, etc. The more direct ways of teaching, the better!
