Citations in the corpus
- The use of the L1 in CLIL classes: The teachers’ perspective (2013, background): “Although reports demonstrate that teachers make ample use of the L1 (Littlewood & Yu, 2011), practices such as code-switching and translanguaging are still controversial.”
- Communication-oriented language teaching: Where are we now? Where do we go from here? (2012, background): “In spite of official demands, many teachers are nonetheless accustomed to using the mother tongue extensively, sometimes as much as 70% or even 90% of the time (see the review in Littlewood & Yu 2011).”
- Exploring translanguaging in CLIL (2019, background): “Interestingly, research in FL classrooms has often flagged regulative, classroom-management language as featuring L1 (Littlewood and Yu 2011) and, as seen above, CLIL research has echoed this.”
