The purpose of this study is to find out English teachers' perceptions in using L1 during the teaching and learning process at SMP Negeri 1 Karimun. This study used descriptive qualitative research to analyze teachers' perceptions. Data were obtained using observation and interview. Observations were used to find out the activities during the teaching and learning process, then interviews were used to find out more information to describe the perceptions of the teachers. The results of this study show that the use of the first language provides advantages and disadvantages in the teaching and learning process. In this study, the teacher prefers to use English as the language of instruction in the teaching and learning process rather than using the first language (L1) in the classroom. The use of first language (L1) in the teaching and learning process makes students have low speaking skills. According to the teacher, the use of L1 can hinder the learning objectives of the English subject, however it can make students quickly understand the content of the lesson.]]>
