Abstract

This study investigates code-switching practices in an Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom through a qualitative classroom discourse analysis. Drawing on audio- and video-recorded classroom interaction, the study examines how teachers and students employ code-switching, the pedagogical functions it serves, and its implications for effective EFL teaching. The findings reveal that code-switching is systematic and predominantly teacher-initiated, occurring most frequently during instructional clarification, classroom management, and affective support. Student-initiated code-switching, although less frequent, functions primarily as an interactional repair strategy to maintain participation and negotiate meaning. Importantly, strategically timed code-switching mediates key learning processes, including comprehension facilitation, engagement regulation, and participation expansion. The study contributes empirical discourse-based evidence to ongoing debates on L1 use in EFL classrooms, challenging deficit-oriented perspectives and highlighting code-switching as a context-sensitive pedagogical resource. Implications are discussed for EFL pedagogy and teacher education in multilingual instructional settings.

Abstract

Listening is often considered one of the most challenging skills for students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms due to limited exposure to authentic spoken English and insufficient listening practice. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Learn English Listening application in improving the listening skills of tenth-grade students at SMAN 2 Palopo. A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed. The participants consisted of 20 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via listening tests administered before and after the treatment and analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test in IBM SPSS Statistics version 30. The results showed a significant improvement in students' listening skills, with the mean score increasing from 65.90 in the pre-test to 77.10 in the post-test. The paired-samples t-test yielded a p < .001 and a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.586), indicating that the application produced a practically and statistically meaningful improvement in listening comprehension. These findings provide empirical evidence supporting the integration of mobile listening applications as effective digital learning tools in Indonesian EFL classrooms, particularly in contexts with limited authentic exposure to English.
