Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of code mixing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, particularly focusing on students in a responsive speaking class at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember. The research aims to identify the types of code mixing used, the contexts in which it occurs, and the reasons behind its usage. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The analysis revealed that students frequently employ code mixing during group discussions and presentations. Four main types of code mixing were identified: word insertion, phrase insertion, hybrid forms, and clause mixing. The findings suggest that code mixing helps students articulate their ideas more effectively, especially when facing vocabulary limitations or feeling anxious. It also serves as a communicative strategy that supports language acquisition by boosting confidence and aiding understanding. This study concludes that code mixing is not merely a linguistic shortcut but a meaningful tool in the language learning process. The implications of this research underscore the pedagogical value of integrating code mixing into classroom practices to support EFL learners' speaking development.

Abstract

Listening is essential for language development, underpinning skills like speaking, reading, and writing. Effective media choice in teaching is crucial since research emphasizes that comprehensible input and active engagement are vital for listening comprehension (Richards, 2008; Sadiku, 2015; Vandergrift, 1999). Harmer (2007) asserts that engaging with input is key for language activation, while recent studies (Danxin Liang, 2013; Chen Chan et al., 2014) suggest that audiovisual materials enhance comprehension by providing visual stimuli that aid attention and schema activation. This study explores how animated videos affect listening comprehension among 16 senior English language education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jember. Participants were exposed to both video and audio materials on nostalgia and melancholy, respectively, and answered 10 multiple-choice questions for each type. Analysis using a dependent sample t-test revealed no significant difference between the audio-only and video conditions, with a t-value of -0.522, a p-value of 0.609, and minimal effect sizes (Cohen's d of -0.131 and Hedges' g of -0.124). Despite theoretical support from dual-coding and multimedia learning theories, the study found negligible benefits from visual aids. Possible influencing factors include learner proficiency, content complexity, cognitive load, and low motivation. Â
