Cooks’s paper has been a far convincing explanation of how naturally L1, and inexorably, occurs.
In the book “Techniques and principles in language teaching”, written by Diane Larsen Freeman, it talks about the Audio Lingual Method and says: (2008:42)”The language teacher uses only the target language in the classroom. Actions, pictures, or realia are used to give meaning otherwise”. This observation has the following principle: “The native language and the target language have separate linguistic systems. They should be kept apart so that the student’s native language interferes as little as possible with the student’s attempts to acquire the target language”(Freeman, 2008).
