EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF LEARNERS' NATIVE LANGUAGE USE ON THEIR FOREIGN LANGUAGE SPEAKING SKILL

Abstract

This Research aims to analyze the impact of learner's native language use on their foreign language speaking skill. The researcher adopted the descriptive analysis approach. The data obtained from sample of (50) students from the University of the Holy Quran and Islamic science, who responded to the questionnaire to provide answers to the research questions. The Research deduced that EFL learners speak the first language in speaking English as a result of lack of English language knowledge. The Research recommends that Language learning must contain interaction activities such as problem solving, role play, creating dialogues, making interviews, and debate activities and Teachers should decrease the amount of their talk in the classroom by giving learners a lot of time to talk
