On November 20, 2024, the SoFL family came together for a productive PDU focus group meeting to discuss the topic of "L1 Use in EFL Classes." The meeting provided a platform for participants to share their experiences, perspectives, and insights on this important issue in language education.
The session featured a blend of interactive elements, including discussion questions, a short informational video, and findings from recent academic studies. This multifaceted approach fostered an engaging and thought-provoking dialogue among attendees, highlighting diverse viewpoints and strategies related to the use of students' first language in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms.
Such gatherings continue to reinforce YADYO’s commitment to professional development and collaborative learning within the teaching community.
