Abstract

  English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lessons can be challenging, particularly for students with limited English proficiency. In Indonesia, creating a relaxed classroom environment is essential for effective language acquisition. Consequently, teachers often incorporate humour as a pedagogical strategy. Despite its potential benefits, the use of humour in EFL classrooms remains underexplored. This study aims to identify the types of humour employed by teachers and examine students' responses to these humorous interventions. Utilizing a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design, this study was conducted in the English Language Education Department of a private university in Yogyakarta. Data were collected through three classroom observations and interviews with six third-year students. The findings reveal six types of humour used in the classroom: 1) teasing, 2) self-disparaging humour, 3) lesson-related humour, 4) sarcasm, 5) hilarious comments, and 6) gestures. Additionally, the study identifies seven student responses to teachers' humour: 1) fostering enjoyable learning activities, 2) stimulating student interest, 3) reducing classroom anxiety, 4) assisting comprehension of materials, 5) motivating class participation, 6) alleviating tension and boredom, and 7) enhancing student engagement. Based on these findings, it is recommended that humour be integrated into EFL classrooms due to its numerous benefits for both students and teachers, as well as its positive impact on the learning environment.

Code-switching is an activity when a person switches their language in a speech. Some research have been conducted in the field of code switching, however, very little was done in looking both the types and the reasons of doing it in the group discussion context. This research focuses on exploring the types of code-switching used by the students in EFL classroom during group discussion and the reasons why the students used code-switching during group discussion in EFL classroom. The methodology used in this research was a descriptive qualitative. There were three participants in this research, two females and one male aged 21 to 24-year-old which was done in a private university of Yogyakarta. In collecting the data, the researcher used interview and follow-up questions. And the finding of this research found that there were three types of code-switching used by the EFL student, the first one is tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and the last one is intra-sentential switching. Furthermore there were three reasons why the participants used code-switching. The first one is feeling comfortable in using their mother tongue, lacking the target language proficiency, and the last one is holding the floor.
