The use of the first language (L1) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes has been a controversial topic in the field. There are several approaches towards using L1 in EFL classrooms; While some teachers claim that L1 should not be used, others think that it has an important role in facilitating EFL learning. The present study aimed at investigating EFL teachers’ perceptions about using L1 and the cases in which they do so in the context of state schools in northern Cyprus. In addition, possible differences in their perceptions and practices based on age, gender, first language, level of education, place of graduation, faculty of graduation, years of teaching experience and grade level taught were analyzed. In total, 170 EFL teachers participated in the study, where a researcher-made questionnaire was employed to collect data about their perceptions. Data were analyzed quantitatively through descriptive statistics and parametric inferential tests were also run to identify possible differences based on the given categories. The results showed that the majority of the teachers had a neutral approach towards using L1 in EFL classrooms; they preferred to use L1 when there was a need. The results also revealed that while there is no difference in their perceptions regarding using L1 in the classroom based on gender, several differences were identified in terms of years of teaching experience, year group taught, level of education, school of graduation and first language. Keywords: use of first language, L1, English as a foreign language, teachers’ perceptions, mother tongue use in EFL

With the long school closure due to Covid-19, students were kept away from schools and when the schools were opened and face to face education began, the absenteeism rate increased a lot. A phenological study to determine the reasons for absenteeism of university students was conducted with the participation of 56 students from different faculties of a university at the Black Sea Region of Turkey during the spring term of 2022. According to the findings obtained from the study, the most important reason for absenteeism was health problems. Secondly, waking up early was another striking reason for absenteeism. Stress and depression, early class hours, family and transportation problems, academic staff were stated as important reasons for absenteeism. The long course hours, the lack of sufficient activities in the school environment, not finding the lessons meaningful and informative also found to be affective in the attendance rate of student. It was also found out that university environment and instructors were also responsible from students’ absenteeism. Therefore, the courses should not be planned in the early hours and the course instructors should be able to take student attention to the courses. Moreover, the campuses should increase social, cultural and sportive activities. To attract the attention of students to school with extracurricular activities; social, cultural and sportive activities should be planned. University campus should turn into a life center where students would like to be.
