Abstract

This article studied the influence of using L1 in junior high school English classes. Two teachers and five students from a public middle school in China were interviewed. Through communication with them, the author found that neither teachers nor students pay as much attention to listening teaching as grammar reading. The two teachers the author interviewed have different ideas about using L1 in English class according to their own teaching experience. But their ultimate goal is to improve students' English scores and abilities. Students agree with the teacher's rational use of L1 in class. They also put forward some advantages of using L1. However, the listening teaching is mainly based on the teacher's requirements, and the main task is to complete the listening training questions. Only one student suggested that if English-based teaching environment can help them improve their English listening level and other abilities.
