Abstract
This article reports on the use of code switching in storytelling. Eleven
English Department students of 2013 participated in this research study

Education students use code switching and code mixing in storytelling. The
result of this study indicated that students use code switching in storytelling
because of lack of vocabulary knowledge, speaking anxiety while doing the
storytelling, the need for facilitating of language production, the need to
control the language, and absence of equivalence in the target language.
