    The current study investigated the purposes of the L1 use in the L2 classes for classroom management. The aims of this research were to identify the uses of the L1 in the L2 class, also to find out teachers’ purposes for the use of the L1 in the L2 classroom, and finally to determine in which instances of L1 use are effective for classroom management. The qualitative study was conducted in a public school in the south part of Santiago de Chile. Four in-service teachers (two from elementary and two from secondary levels) participated in the investigation. The four participants’ lessons were audio recorded and field notes were taken. Then, four interviews were conducted using the method of stimulated recall interviews. The results suggest that the L1 is used mainly in a conscious manner for classroom management purposes such as reduce disruptions, give instructions, and to create a good relationship between teacher and students. Moreover, two of the four teachers find out that the use of the L1 in their English lessons was effective for classroom management purposes. We wrap up the study with pedagogical implication and suggestions for further research in this field.
