CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mother tongue can be used to provide a quick and accurate translation of an English word that might take several minutes for the teacher to explain. Using English only, in EFL classrooms can lead to some problems because there would be no guarantee that the instructions and explanations are understood correctly.

Detailed explanation-2: -You Should Use the Mother Tongue When You: Teach very difficult words, especially abstract words and can’t find a picture or ask a CCQ to check the meaning. Tell the students the difference between the mother tongue and English. Explain a grammatical item that has no equivalent in the mother tongue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Direct method: It is also known as a natural and anti-grammatical method, it facilitates the active participation of students. It focuses on speaking skills and emphasizes learning the target language directly without translating it into the mother tongue.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like we mentioned already, you don’t need to speak the local language to be able to teach English overseas. But do you need to be bilingual, or speak a foreign language? Sure, being able to speak more than one language will definitely provide you with certain skills or perspectives while in the classroom.
