Code Switching and Code Mixing in EFL Classroom Presentations: Case Study at the English Education Department
- Bagikan:
This study aimed to examine the types and communicative functions of
code-switching and code-mixing used by EFL students during classroom
presentations, along with their communicative goals in applying these
bilingual strategies. Using a qualitative descriptive case study, data were
gathered through classroom observations, documentation, and semi
structured interviews with fourth-semester students of the English Education
Department at UIN Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. The findings
revealed 117 utterances containing code-switching and code-mixing. Three
types of code-switching were identified: inter-sentential switching 30, intra
sentential switching 24, and tag switching 11 utterances. three types of code
mixing were found: insertion 48, alternation 4, and congruent lexicalization 0
utterances. Among these, intra-sentential switching and insertion mixing
were the most dominant, Inter-sentential switching was dominant because
students prepared their presentation scripts beforehand, allowing them to
plan language shifts between sentences more naturally. Insertion mixing
frequently appeared since English terms were familiar and commonly used in
academic settings, making communication more efficient. In terms of
communicative functions, six major functions were identified based on
Appel and Muysken’s framework: referential 71 utterance, directive 17,
expressive 5, phatic 12, metalinguistic 11, and poetic 1 utterance. The
referential function was the most frequent, as students often switched or
mixed languages to explain academic concepts and theories for better
audience understanding, indicating that language was mainly used to convey
information more clearly and to manage the flow of presentation. The
interview results showed that students used language alternation to improve
clarity, manage nervousness, enhance confidence, and engage the audience.
They considered these bilingual practices effective for supporting
comprehension and interactive learning environment. For the next
researchers, it is encouraged to explore code-switching and code-mixing for
the improvement of communication in different academic settings.
