As the development of China from last century, learning English has been valued because of its significance in global interaction. In China, it is not uncommon for primary schools to teach English with the aid of Chinese. In this paper, the author illustrates the benefits of applying first language (L1) to learn second language (L2) in language learning in primary school in China. Both personal language learning experiences and main concepts of this field are employed to support the investigation. Furthermore, the author presents some challenges or suggestions for each part of the discussion to promote the validity of this learning mode.
