I?ve studied three other languages and have acquired a fair level of proficiency in two of them. The perspective of having struggled with foreign language elements is a definite aid to my teaching both directly and indirectly. But while I strongly favor bi-lingualism, there are some caveats.
Some Caveats to Consider
A detailed knowledge of language learning that only comes from immersing yourself in the language learning process, is an infinitely helpful experience. However, many schools absolutely prohibit the use of the learners L1 in the English language learning classroom. So if the L2 you?ve acquired happens to be the learners? L1, you must be careful not to allow it to become a ?crutch? in your teaching and interaction with the learners.
