The teacher’s cues for activities are given in the first language, in a second language class. This bilingual technique exploits the communicative potential of a given structure.

• The students’ L1 by incorporating it into the lesson. It does this by using bilingual technique all or part of the L1 within L2.
• C.J. Dodson (1967) was the proponent of the bilingual method. It is used for teaching a foreign language, and it is complementary to the audiovisual method. From the beginning, the sandwich approach is used to convey the meaning bilingually. The mother tongue is used for bilingual pattern drills.
• The bilingual technique exploits the communicative potential of a given structure as Learners may rely more on their L1, and it can turn out to be a translation method. The student, unable to use the skills in target language, hence lose the motivation and communicative potential of a given structure.
• Sandwich approach: this approach involves the use of a positive comment, followed by a negative, then closed off with another positive comment for constructive feedback.
• The structural technique is a technique wherein the learner masters the pattern of a sentence. It is based on the assumptions that language can be best learned through a scientific selection and grading of the structures or patterns of sentences and vocabulary.
• Communicative approach:. The communicative approach is based on the idea that learning a language successfully comes through having to communicate real meaning. This approach focus is on meaningful interaction rather than on making complete sentences and cues in the first language. It focuses on fluency but not accuracy.

Hence, we can conclude that the teacher’s cues for activities are given in the first language, in a second language class. This Bilingual technique exploits the communicative potential of a given structure.
