Talking Re: Is it okay to speak the students' native language in class?

Well, Leighganna.
Everybody`s got that problem, but the most important thing is to use L1 only when giving the first instructions.
There are authors that think this is necessary, What I always do is, I give them a list of classroom Language like, Is this write or wrong?, Can you say that again?, etc. making sure they learn to say it and their meaning.
It`s important to wite those sentences on pieces of papaer all over the classroom.
Make sure that you take about a week to learn that before any contents.
If it takes 10 days it`s ok.
I hope it works.
Bye!
Estuardo.
