This systematic literature review examines the language use in the EFL classroom in lower secondary school. It aims to investigate how the target language, English, and local languages are used. Furthermore, teachers’ as well as students’ views on the language use in the classroom were investigated. This was done by compiling and comparing the findings of eight peer- reviewed research articles about the topic. The results show that language practices as well as views differ between teachers and their pupils. However, the general picture shows that, although English is the main language in the EFL classroom, there are contexts in which the pupil’s native language can be used beneficially.
