SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CODE SWITCHING IN THE TEACHING PROCESS

Abstract

In the classroom, language is a vital instrument for communication in the learning process. Although English is taught in schools, many students do not speak it as their first language. For this reason, some instructors employ code swapping in the classroom to aid with language acquisition. Finding out what forms of code switching the lecturer employed while lecturing is the aim of this investigation. In this study, the descriptive qualitative method was employed. This study was carried out at Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN Bone). As an instrument for study, the researcher employed observation. The study's findings showed that the lecturer used both intra- and inter sentential code switching seven times during the teaching process. The extracts were taken from an audio recording of lecturer’s teaching process.
