Abstract

In English learning classroom where students’ foreign language proficiency has still needed to be improved, teachers have been suggested to use mother tongue valuably to assist students in learning English vocabularies. This paper argues the challenges confronted by teachers and students, particularly in English as a foreign language. Nonetheless, some researchers have also warranted ‘judicious’ and ‘principled’ use of mother tongue so that English learning can be facilitated. The question thus remains whether teachers should use the mother tongue in teaching English vocabularies in primary schools or not. This paper carries some data from three classes from three different schools which adopt three different language education methods in Fujian province through interview and observation. At the same time, the author took notes and made a calculation then gave some suggestions about the problems found during the investigation.
