CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of The Study
Nowadays, there are so many people who master more than one
language. Most of them are mastering two or more languages, namely their
native language and the second language. The language which is usually
mastered well by people is their mother tongue or native language. Most of
them firstly used their mother tongue to communicate to their family and
society. However during their communication with other people and because
of the need of understanding other people about what they mean, there is a
demand for the people to master or know the other languages. This condition
caused many people learn another language to make their communication
effective.
People who master more than one language is called bilingual or
multilingual. Hundreds of millions people in the world routinely use two or
more languages in their daily lives (multilingual). This also happens to the
Indonesian people who are multilingual. Indonesian people master at least the
Indonesian national language that is Bahasa Indonesia, and their regional
language. Well-educated people usually master foreign languages, such as
English, Japanese, etc. The fact that people can use more than one language
encourages them to mix code whenever they speak. No wonder people can use
more than one language at the same time.

Moreover, it is also possible for the bilingual or multilingual people to
use more than one language in a communication even though in the same
topic. context or people. The condition where people use more than one
language or code in the same topic. context, or people in communication is
called code
mixing. According Suwito (in Rohmadi. 2004 : 60 ) “Code
mixing is the use of two or more languages by entering the pieces of language
to another while the pieces which inserts do not have function”.
Code mixing can be seen in spoken and written language. Code mixing
in written language can found in: newspaper, magazine, novel, etc. The code
mixing can also found in spoken language such as: radio program. television
program, teaching-learning process, etc. The teaching-learning process
especially of teaching speaking skill in class is one of the examples of mixing
codes in a spoken language. In these activities, the speaker not only mixes the
codes lndonesian and English, but sometimes Javanese too.
English students and teachers often use code mixing in speaking class.
They commonly used English in teaching. but they also commonly used other
languages, Indonesian and or Javanese to make the explanation clearer and or
with another reason based on their need. It is something natural when it
happens on speaking class, because the teacher and students are Indonesian
people, they had their previous language before they mastered the English
language. Their level of proficiency and fluency on English mastering is not
only determine by their mastery on language but also they have certain
purpose in mixing the codes.

Based on the phenomena above, the researcher is interested in
conducting a research towards code mixing in the speaking class of English
department. The research paper is entitled: THE STUDY OF CODE MIXING
IN TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS OF SPEAKING IN ENGLISH
DEPARTMENT OF UMS 2007/2008.
B. Previous Study
A study having a relationship to this present research is entitled:” A
Linguistic Study on Indonesian-English Code Mixing Used in HAL
Magazine”. The research was conducted and finished by Tanti Kurniawati
during her study in Faculty of Teacher Training and Education of
Muhammadivah University of Surakarta in 2005. She discussed the
morphological and syntactic form of code mixing and the meaning of the form
of code mixing used in HAl magazine. Another researcher is Subekti (2006)
entitled:” An Analysis of Indonesian-English Code Mixing Used in TEMPO
Magazine January 2006)”. The researcher discussed the form, the type and the
reason to analyze the Indonesian-English code mixing in written language. In
her research, there are words (50 data), phrase (21 data), and idiom (3 data).
Another research related to the study of code mixing be conducted by
Miss Pohda-Ooh (2007) in her research:” An Analysis of Thai-English Code
Mixing Used in Kullastri and Khwanrean Thai Magazine (April 2007)”. She
discussed: the forms, the types, and the reasons of using code mixing.

previous study, problem of the study, objectives of the study, benefits of the
study, and paper organization.
Chapter II is Underlying Theory., it deals with the notion of
sociolinguistics, scope of sociolinguistics, ethnography of speaking,
bilingualism, code switching, code mixing, forms of code mixing, types of
code mixing, and the reason of using the code mixing.
