They d...Hi, I'm so glad you found this helpful. They do get to use L1 (English/shared language) to make suggestions- and to keep it in control, they can only have 1-2 words. This allows for the fact that they may have great, creative, memorable suggestions but don't know how to say them in the target language. Showing the "help me" sign is a way to indicate that I am asking a question that needs a creative answer, and that the question is something that they don't yet know. After a couple of stories, most classes don't need it. <br /><br />Generally speaking, students don't ask for clarification in L1 (though it does happen) because I am doing a lot of different kinds of comprehension checks- including asking them what a word or phrase means in L1, or asking them to tell their partner what just happened. I don't believe that using our shared language is a crime! In the book Between Worlds, Access to Second Language Acquisition (Freeman & Freeman, 2011), the authors present three orientations about first language: language as handicap, language as right, and language as resource. I fully fall into the language-as-resource camp- after all, the fact that we share an L1 (a first language) means that we can be more efficient with our limited class time!
