Abstract: This paper explores the use of the students' first language (L1) in English as a Foreign Language (ELF) classes at the South East European University (SEEU) Language Center. The university, located in a diverse, multilingual country, has a student body coming from a variety of ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. This diversity presents challenges for English teachers, particularly in deciding when and how to use the students' L1 to facilitate learning.
