It intended to investigate to what extent teachers of English use Arabic in their classes and their ways and reasons of doing that. The participants of this study were 30 teachers of English language at elementary schools. The data of this study was collected by using a questionnaire, a focus group discussion and observations. The results of this study suggest that the teacher participants highly use Arabic language in their English classrooms. Their main reason of using Arabic in their English classrooms isthat usingArabic helps students understand grammar rules and the meaning of new words and expressions. The results also reveal that the students’ level of English, the time assigned to the subject in combination with the intensity of the teaching material make many teachers resort to Arabic as a technique to cover the materials of their courses. 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.zu.edu.ly/xmlui/handle/1/1225 2019 - واقع التطور العمراني لمنطقة الجفارة في الفترة ما بین 1911 أبو عجیلة, عز الدین منصور عاشور 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.zu.edu.ly/xmlui/handle/1/1224 أھمیة السُّحب في حیاة الإنسان مسعود, البشیر الطاهر محمد 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.zu.edu.ly/xmlui/handle/1/1223 أسماء الأفعال بین الاسمیة والفعلیة - دارسة نحویة 2021-03-01T00:00:00Z
