Abstract
The place of the students’ mother tongue or L1 in learning English as a foreign language has always been the subject of debate. While advocates of the monolingual approach suggest that English should be the only language used in the classroom, but teachers and learners see a role for L1 and support its use as a communication strategy and as an for instructional tool.
In this paper, an attempt is made to review the new trends in this area of language teaching within the last years and some suggestions are made with practical experience. Use of ICT is also a step forward for English Language Teaching and it has to be implemented without fail.
