Abstract
First language or mother tongue cannot be separated from everybody’s life. This motivates the writer to conduct research to support other previous research related to the same issue. This research aims to find out the circumstance which L1 had its role in English classroom and to find out whether it helps or distracts the learning. Qualitative methodology was used in this research by which data were generated by using observation in five classes in a language center in Semarang and interviews with five teachers and ten students. The result showed there were some circumstances that L1 helped such as discussing academic and non academic matters, giving clarification, giving example, accommodating students who were less fluent, and making classroom situations lively. At the same time, asking or talking about academic and non academic matters was also included when students used L1 in English (L2) classroom. Whereas, teachers and students admitted that they earned the benefits and disadvantages of L1 use in English (L2) classroom. The benefits that teachers perceived were to make students being able to comprehend the meanings, to give instruction, to create a friendly classroom, to give example, to build a good relationship, to support students to find ideas, to manage students in the classroom, and to help students in urgency. The benefits that students perceived were to feel comfortable, to talk or to ask teacher and friends (academic and non-academic purposes), to save time, to translate, to avoid misperception, to understand the meaning. In contrast, teachers perceived that students’ L2 skills would not get improved and L1 use in the L2 class could be a habit while students perceived that L1 distracted L2 (English) learning.
