	abstract = {Teaching EFL to EFL learners who have their first experience in learning EFL is challenging for the EFL teachers. To enhance the students’ understanding of the materials, the teacher integrates the languages they understand into her teaching. To shape students’ positive attitudes toward the teacher’s use of their languages, a teacher determines which language should be incorporated into the classroom to suit the students’ needs. This research revealed the attitudes of VIIIA students at SMPN 1 Salem toward their teacher’s use of their regional and national languages. The data were collected using observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The result showed the students’ positive attitudes towards Sundanese and Indonesian, since it helps them learn English. They feel comfortable learning English using the languages they understand.},
