Abstract:	In English language learning, there have been some concerns regarding the achievement of the target language among EFL/ESL teachers. One of these concerns is regarding the use of first language/mother tongue in the classroom which has been a topic of discussion in EFL/ESL classrooms. Numerous empirical research studies have been done in different countries on this topic. Almost all findings have showed the same result: judicious use of first language was effective in assisting learners in their understanding of the learning process. This issue, regarding to the use of mother tongue/first language, caused my interest to investigate in the Myanmar setting. The study aimed to find out the effect of using first language on the second/foreign language learning for beginning adults. The study collected data from Myanmar learners of English and in-service Myanmar teachers of English working for private language school, British Council (Myanmar), and Dagon University in Myanmar. The results indicate that using the first language moderately is beneficial and helpful and the teachers need to be mindful in the use of mother tongue to assist students in acquiring the target language. This study offers the strict teachers of English only policy a better understanding of the use of the first language in order to help the learners to acquire the target language, English.
