Is there a method that allows the teacher to use the mother tongue in teaching English without feeling guilty? Yes, there is. The Dodson bilingual method
Slow learners and beginners share one disadvantage: they do not understand the exact meanings of sentences unless they are explained in the mother tongue. Most teachers probably try to speak as much English as they can but sometimes they have no other choice than resort to their mother tongue. Still, if the Dodson method is used even the weakest students will learn a lot of phrases by heart and will be able to communicate in the target language at least in a satisfactory level.
