Abstract

This study analyzed the use of code-switching in teacher-student interaction during English classroom activities at SMP Negeri 20 Kupang. The research problems of this study were: (1) What are the types of code-switching used by teachers and students?(2) What are the functions of code-switching used in the English classroom? The aims of this research were to find out the types and the functions of code-switching used by the English teacher and students in the classroom. This study applied the descriptive qualitative method by conducting classroom observations in classes VIII B and VIII C from July 15 until August 4, 2025, in SMP Negeri 20 Kupang. The findings revealed three types of code-switching: tag switching (such as ‘wow, literasi kalian sangat kurang’), inter-sentential switching (such as ‘kurang semangat. How are you?’), and intra-sentential switching (such as ‘before we start, ada yang mau pimpin doa untuk kita? One person, please.’). Intra-sentential switching was the most frequently used (68.87%), followed by inter-sentential switching (16.98%) and tag switching (14.15%). Furthermore, six functions of code-switching were found in the classroom, namely message qualification (such as ‘now I will read the text for you.Mari perhatikan di slide, this is part one of the story’), reiteration (such as ‘so far any questions?Ada pertanyaan?’), interjection (such as ‘sejauhinitidakada yang mauditanyakan, right?’), addressee specification (such as ‘Pernah, Sir’), quotation (such as ‘Kancilberkata ‘hello crocodiles’), and personalization or objectification (such as ‘itu hanya penyegaran kembali, hari ini kita akan belajar dari salah satu jenis dari narrative text yang namanya legend’). Among these, message qualification was the most dominant function (50.94%). It can be concluded that the three types and the function of code-switching were applied by the teacher to facilitate student learning. For future researchers, it is suggested to conduct further investigation on the effects of code-switching on students’ motivation or learning outcomes.
