Many researchers have pointed out opportunities and usefulness of using the target language in teaching a foreign language. However, the results of the study showed that the students at ICTU have to cope with many difficulties preventing them from using English in class. That is the reason why many of them cannot use English effectively after the course. The paper also presents some suggestions to help students overcome the challenges to use English in class more effectively. Key words: Using English in class, communicative approach, “social” language, organising language, explaining language.
