| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to find out for which purposes GFL teachers in Japan use Japanese or German as a medium of instruction. Therefore, a survey was carried out among native German and Japanese GFL teachers in order to evaluate which factors determine their language choice and for which teaching functions they prefer the students' L1 or L2. The results indicate that complex teaching contents, big class sizes, and low motivation or low L2 skills of the students are factors that trigger the use of the students' L1.
