3-10p. Abstract: Given that India has a multilingual society with strong regional languages, Indian researchers of ELT have addressed the issue of the use of learners’ L1 or own language in EFL/ESL teaching in a large number of works. This article undertakes a literature review of such studies to explore the advancements and unique findings, by analysing their utility in bringing to fore the contextual, social and linguistic aspects of L1 use in ELT or English medium teaching. It also identifies gaps that exist, vis-à-vis research designs and paradigms. This review aims to guide and encourage future researchers to explore new designs, research questions and methodologies. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** L1 | ELT | literature review | India | mediating language 0973-5208 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JTREL650402 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JTREL650402 240301 20240301162945.0
