Abstract

The English language plays a crucial role in everyone’s life. The English language is a universal language and it is important to learn it properly, especially for the purpose of communication. However, ESL students are still struggling to learn and communicate by using the English language. Instead, they just prefer to communicate with their friends and teachers using their mother tongue in the classroom. Therefore, each and every student should give more importance to the English language. This qualitative case study aims to study the impacts of using mother tongue on students’ speaking skills in ESL classrooms. A systematic literature review based on the data was performed from thirty different articles pertaining to the use of mother tongue in ESL classrooms. Specifically, this paper focuses on how the use of mother tongue affects students and their speaking skills in ESL classrooms. The perceptions of using mother tongue by students in ESL classrooms are also discussed in this study. Based on the findings, it is proven that mother tongue helps students in various ways to learn the English language in the ESL classroom. This research has significantly provided justification on the impacts of using mother tongue by students in ESL classrooms as well as its effect on students’ speaking skills in general.
