摘　　要：The mother tongue should be treated as an ally in the process of foreign-language teaching and consciously used rather than being ignored and avoided at all costs. From a psychological point of view, it cannot be avoided and that, from a pedagogical point of view, it can facilitate learning if used wisely and deliberately. There is no doubt that the language learner already knows his or her mother tongue, through which, more or less consciously he or she tries to perceive and assimilate the elements of the target language. Utilizing and controlling this tendency instead of ignoring or fighting it will go a long way towards facilitating learning and ensuring success.在当前的大学英语教学中,母语的作用有被忽视的倾向,全英授课受到推崇。全外语授课普遍为人们所接受。如果外语老师在外语课上说汉语,那么老师会被认为英语水平不够。笔者认为,这种做法有失偏颇,适当的母语授课只有利没有弊。本文从二语习得、建构主义理论、教育学、语言学、学习理论等多个视角阐述了母语在外语教学中的应有地位:帮助学生更好地了解目的语与母语的差异、时时监察语言输出、更准确地掌握目的语的词汇语法,更有效地进行外语学习。
