I think this unit I have learned the most about the importance of using English in a monolingual classroom. I anticipate that using the students' L1 is one of the major issues that I will come up against in teaching. I could also see how it would be tempting to use the students' L1 as I am learning it at the same time, but this unit has clarified for me that when a student speaks to me in their L1 I should pretend that I don't understand in order to make them feel like they will have to use English in order to communicate with me. If they know that I can understand them they won't feel the need to utilize their English skills.
