interaction outside the classroom.. The  above  theories  are  an  important  way  to  frame  the  analysis  of  the
data. This classification guides the writer as she examines the language use by chemistry  teacher  in  the  classroom.  Furthermore,  code  switching  occurs  in
school  because  students  and  teachers  are  bilingual  community  so  they  have more  than  one  language  for  communication.  The  teachers  use  code  switching
for  giving  information  and  lesson  materials  to  students.  Code  switching  can support  classroom  communication  in  general  as  well  as  exploratory  talk
integral part of learning. Exploratory talk refers to a particular type of learner talk, namely when the learner is talking about the subject matter at hand in an
attempt  to  comprehend  this  matter  better.  In  this  sense,  exploratory  talk  is  a necessary  part  of  talking  to  learning  and  is  likely  to  be  most  effective  in
learner’s main language Setati et al. 2002. The  situation  in  which  the  interaction  is  taken  has  an  important
influence.  In  this  study,  the  situation  of  interaction  is  in  the  chemistry classroom.  As  mention  by  Appel  and  Muysken  2005:23  that  the  topic  of

from  beginning  to  the  end  in  order  to  get  an  empirical  conclusion.  Before  the research  was  conducted,  the  writer  must  decide  the  method  that  will  be  used  in
conducting  the  study  of  the  research.  According  to  Koentjaraningrat  1983:7 research method is a method used to understand something or research purposes.

purpose.  The  method  of  this  research  is  selected  by  the  writer  when  she  was considering its appropriateness  with  the research  object.  This  research method  is
arranged  based  on  the  problem  and  purpose  of  the  research.  This  study  aims  to show the types and the functions of code mixing and code switching used by the
teacher in doing communication, particularly in teaching and learning activities in the schools.
