Abstract

Code-switching is one of sociolinguistics aspects, generally defined as a shift from one language to another by the speaker during the speech. In EFL learning, many teachers use code switching to teach their students. This research investigated the reasons behind the use of code-switching by the teachers in EFL classrooms. This research was drawn from the results of interview, observation, video-recording, and note taking. The participant was the teachers at MTsN 7 Agam. This was a descriptive research with a qualitative approach because it described what happened in human being and the phenomena directly from the classroom. The results revealed that the teachers code-switched for different purposes and reasons while teaching English. The findings indicate that code-switching in interaction during learning process is used to serve quotation, addressee specification, reiteration or repetition, message qualification, clarification, emphasis and checking.
