ABSTRACT
The use of code-switching in the ESL/ EFL class is one phenomenon in
the teaching world and become considerable debate. Jingxia (2010) stated that
“code-switching in foreign language classroom has recently been the subject of
considerable debate” (p.11). The purpose of this research is to know the ELE
students’ attitudes toward teachers’ use of code-switching in ELE classes. In this
research quota sampling was used. The participants of this research were 108
students (25%) of English Language Education Program at Universitas Kristen
Satya Wacana, Salatiga, Indonesia. I took the participants from four batches (i.e.,
the year when students were admitted in the program). The four batches were
2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. The data were collected using a questionnaire with
contains closed-ended questions and open-ended questions. The results of this
research consist of six themes. First was the degree of students’ agreement with
teachers’ use of code-switching in the ELE classes; second was the desirability of
code-switching to Indonesian in ELE classes; third was the ideal frequency of
ELE teachers’ use of Indonesian; fourth was the language that students prefer to
be taught during the process of learning and teaching in ELE classes; fifth was the
perceived benefit of ELE teachers use of code-switching in the learning process;
and sixth was the situations that ELE teachers’ use when code-switching in the
class. The result of this research showed that code-switching is beneficial and
almost the students gave good attitudes toward the teachers’ use of code-switching
in class. Therefore teachers in ESL/ EFL class especially for teachers in ELE can
be able to use code-switching as a tool for teaching in the class.
Keywords: code-switching, attitude, ELE students, ELE teacher.
