helped the researcher to understand what happened in this research and to decide the next step in drawing conclusions.
3. Drawing Conclusions and Verifying
Conclusion drawing involved stepping back to consider the meaning of the analyzed data. The data analysis allowed the researcher to begin and develop
conclusions of the study. Then, the initial conclusions were verified in order to test the validity and reliability of findings. The researcher relied on triangulation
to enhance the credibility and dependability of the study. In this study, the researcher used data triangulation. The researcher investigated whether the data
collected by using direct observation confirmed data collected by using indirect observation.
F. Research Procedure
Based on the researcher’s personal experience, the researcher was interested to choose code switching used by English teacher in teaching English to
the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Mlati. Then, the researcher formulated two research problems: 1 What are the types of code switching used by the English
teacher in teaching English to the eight grade students of SMP N 2 Mlati? 2 What are the functions of code switching used by the English teacher in teaching
English to the eight grade students of SMP N 2 Mlati? As the first step, the researcher asked for permission to the institution to
conduct the research. After getting the permission, the researcher conducted direct observation. While observing the English teacher, the researcher filled the

observation checklists, took note, and recorded the teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Then, the researcher conducted indirect observation through
audio recordings. The researcher also filled the observation checklist in order to gain more complete and strength data. After getting the data completely, the next
step was analyzing the data. In this step, the researcher reduced the data gathered, displayed the data, and drew conclusions. The researcher also used data
triangulation as the strategy to reduce bias. After that, the researcher made the conclusions from the analysis of findings. The conclusions could answer the
research questions proposed by the writer. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the findings and discussion of the study. In this chapter, the researcher provided some analysis and discussion to answer the two
research questions of the study. There are two major parts in this chapter. The first part is the research findings and the second part is research discussion.
A. Research Findings
This part shows the findings of this study that the researcher obtained. Since this study had two research questions, the researcher divided the research
findings into two points. The first one was the types of code switching and the second one was the functions of code switching.
1. The Types of Code Switching
In this section, the researcher presented the data of the first research question. The first research question was related to the classification of the types
of code switching used by the English teacher in teaching English to the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Mlati. In classifying the types of code switching used
by the English teacher, the r esearcher employed Poplack’s theory that categorized
code switching into three types. Those types are tag-switching, inter-sentential code switching, and intra-sentential code switching.
Based on the researcher’s observation in the class 8A, 8B, 8C, and 8D, the researcher found several numbers of code switching. The result of the data
