Abstract

This study investigated the use of code-switching by an English teacher in an EFL classroom at SMAN 3 Ponorogo. Code-switching is the alternation between two languages in a discourse. In Indonesian EFL classes, teachers use both English and Indonesian to deliver classroom instructions. The aims of the study were to explore the types of code-switching that the teacher used in the classroom and the teacher’s rationales in using each type. The researchers used a case study with a qualitative approach using classroom observation and an interview with the teacher. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of analysis, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Furthermore, the teacher’s code-switching utterances were classified using Poplack’s code-switching framework. The study found that the teacher used three types of code-switching: tag switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Intra-sentential switching was the most commonly used type, with more than half of the use, and tag switching was the least used type. The teacher employed code-switching to clarify instructions, introduce new vocabulary, explain complex concepts, enhance communication, and promote classroom engagement. The findings suggest that code-switching is a valuable scaffolding strategy for facilitating comprehension and participation for low-proficiency learners. The study highlights the importance of code-switching in building a meaningful English atmosphere for novice learners by providing them with understanding, gradual immersion, and a stress-free environment.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a major problem for EFL learners, especially in the active use of vocabulary in speaking skills. This problem is often caused by teaching materials that are not practical, less contextual, and do not support independent learning. Therefore, this research aimed to explore EFL students' perceptions of the use of pocket books in vocabulary and speaking skills. This study used a qualitative case study design involving 24 students who are members of the Language Student Activity Unit at universities. Data was collected through interviews and supported by questionnaire data, then analyzed using an interactive model. The results of the study show that students view pocket books as a medium that helps enrich vocabulary and speaking practice. Clear layouts, concise explanations, and ready-to-use phrases help reduce cognitive burden and support vocabulary memory, fluency, and student confidence. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on EFL students at the university level regarding the use of pocket books for vocabulary enrichment and speaking practice in the context of language learning outside the classroom. The results of this study show that pocket books have the potential to be an effective supporting learning medium to improve vocabulary mastery and speaking skills.
