Abstract

This study investigates the role of code-switching in English language teaching at Instituto São João de Brito, Timor-Leste, a multilingual setting where English is taught as a foreign language. Building on existing research highlighting the importance of code-switching in facilitating teaching and learning, this study explores teachers’ attitudes and students’ language preferences in classes where code-switching is employed. A mixed-method approach was adopted, involving four teachers and fifty students who participated in questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that teachers recognise the value of code-switching in enhancing student understanding, participation, and teaching methods. Quantitative results show that 60% of students are flexible with code-switching, while 90% prefer increased use of English in class. The study’s findings contribute to understanding how code-switching can effectively be utilised in English language teaching practices in multilingual settings, highlighting the need for a balanced approach that promotes linguistic flexibility and English language proficiency. The implications of this study can inform teaching practices and policies in similar multilingual contexts, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of English language instruction.

Abstract

The study aimed to explore teachers’ professional identities through motivation and commitment to teaching. It highlights teachers’ initial and sustaining motivation that shapes their professional identity. The study also focuses on how teachers’ commitment to teaching forms their identity. The study intended to provide an answer to the research question, of how motivation and commitment shape the three teachers’ professional identities in teaching. The study applied the document research method, where the researcher used three documentary videos from three teachers namely Robin, Vanday, and Imoto as the source of the data. For the data collection, the researcher watched and transcribed the speech from each video and coded it according to each category. The findings reveal that the three teachers’ motivation significantly boosts their productivity due to their self-efficacy, personal experience within society, and passion to teach the students, their love and concern for the students. The findings for commitment reveal that teachers’ independence, competence, and connectedness play important roles for teachers to be committed in teaching. This study implies that motivation and commitment play key roles in teachers’ professional identity.
