Code-Switching Used in Classroom: EFL Teachers' Perceptions
Abstract
This research examines the idea of teachers' bilingual usage of languages, which refers to teachers who use combined Indonesian and English in their English language lesson. It provides a solid foundation for future research, particularly into the viewpoints of EFL teachers. Furthermore, the fundamental goal of this study is to offer EFL educators with information about the practical implications of using a bilingual approach in EFL classes. The study involved conducting semi-structured interviews with a carefully selected sample of EFL teachers, as adapted from Johansson (2014). The collected data, which included interview transcripts, was thematically analyzed to find salient themes and repeating patterns in the instructors' narratives. The studies indicated two main features. Language Practice and the Impact of Using Transitional Language.
