Swain and Lapkin (2000) and Storch and Wigglesworth (2003) studied whether L1 utilization changed by linguistic task. Regardless of task type, Swain and Lapkin (2000) showed that L1 was employed to explain instructions and aid task completion. In contrast, Storch and Wigglesworth (2003) found that L1 was utilized more for organizing ideas and managing activities in collaborative writing and translating and clarifying language in text reconstruction. These findings demonstrate that although L1 helps language acquisition, its utilization may depend on the task.

There are some studies have investigated the use of the first language (L1). Villamil and de Guerrero (1996) and Anton and DiCamilla (1998) have found similar findings which L1 was used for several functions in single task (writing revision tasks). However, the studies that involves different tasks would have diffrent findings. For example, during dictogloss and jigsaw task, they found that L1 was used to perform three functions regardless the kind of task (Swain and Lapkin, 2000). In contrast, Storch and Wigglesworth (2003) investigated that the functions the L1 served depended to some extent on the task.

Some studies have investigated the function L1 serves in one task in L2 classroom. For example, Villamil and Guerrero (1996) carried out a research to explore L1’s functions in EFL students’ writing revision and found that L1 was used for some functions. Similarly, Anton and DiCamilla (1998) also conducted a writing revision task and had similar findings. Later, researchers started to explore the role of L1 plays in multiple tasks. Swain and Lapkin (2000) examined the use of L1 in two different tasks and mentioned that there is no specific relation between the kind of task and the use of L1. By contrast, Storch and Wigglesworth (2003) argued that different functions the L1 served in various tasks to some extent.
