What can be said when students communicate in their native language?

  1. It is distracting to their learning process

  2. It promotes their overall language skills

  3. It limits their understanding of English

  4. It should be discouraged in classrooms

The correct answer is: It promotes their overall language skills

When students communicate in their native language, it promotes their overall language skills by allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings more fully and authentically. Utilizing their home language can facilitate deeper understanding and learning of new concepts, as students can make connections between what they already know and what they are learning. It also supports cognitive development and can enhance their proficiency in both their native language and English by providing a foundation from which to build a more comprehensive understanding of language in general. Encouraging the use of their native language fosters a positive learning environment and can build students’ confidence, leading to better engagement and participation in the classroom.
