situational context to make massages clear and through the kinds of input modifications found in foreigner talk” Ellis, 1997: 85. Therefore, when L2
learners receive acceptable input of the target language, they would be able to produce the correct utterances.
B. Theoretical Framework
A phenomenon that people may switch to a certain language frequently happened in the society. Since this study investigated English code-switching
phenomenon in written form, the writer employed four out of six types of code- switching based on the length of juxtaposed utterances proposed by McCormick
1994. Those are diglossia, conversational code-switching, single-word code- switching, and integrated loanwords. The other two types of code-switching,
situational and metaphorical code-switching, were omitted because those types only exist in oral communication. Conversational code-switching itself, however,
is divided into three smaller classes based on the length of juxtaposed utterances which are called phrase code-switching, whole sentences code-switching and
whole clauses code-switching. Then, to account for the possible reasons for code-switching in the target
magazines, the writer employed two reasons from Holmes 2001. Those are choice of topics and social distance between the writers of the articles in the
magazines and the readers. Finally, to answer the third question of this study, the writer employed a
theory from Rod Ellis 1997 about foreigner talk. There are two modifications of

foreigner talk. The first modification is grammatical talk which may facilitate the second language acquisition. The second modification is ungrammatical foreigner
talk which may obstruct the second language acquisition.

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
This chapter comprises research method, research participants, research instruments, data gathering technique, data analysis technique, and research
procedure.
A. Research Method
The underlying reason of choosing one research method over another is based on the research problems and the possibility of answering those problems. It
is a field research, which is done to find the types and reasons for code switching in translated woman magazines in Indonesia.
In many areas of investigation, documents are important sources of data Best, 1981. Since this study was conducted to comprehend a written language
phenomenon in society, in this case code switching, the methodology used in this study was document analysis as a kind of qualitative research. Qualitative
research, as Fraenkel says 1993: 380, “is a kind of research study that investigates the quality of relationship, activities, or materials”. In documentary
analysis, reports, printed forms, books, newspapers, bulletins, films, and pictures might be used as the sources of data. In this case, the writer chose translated
woman magazines in Indonesia as the subject of the research. One of the typical steps of qualitative research using content analysis as stated by Leedy and Ormrod
2005: 142 is “the researcher identifies the specific body of material to be
