SKRIPSI AN ANALYSIS OF CODE-SWITCHING IN PEER TEACHING BY PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHER AT UNIVERSITAS TIDAR
This study aimed to analyze the types and functions of code-switching used by preservice English teachers during peer-teaching sessions at Universitas Tidar. The study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. The participants were seven fifth-semester students of the English Education Department who conducted peer-teaching activities as part of their Microteaching course. The data were collected from seven peer-teaching video recordings through observation, transcription, note-taking, and documentation. The data were analyzed using Poplack’s (1980) theory to identify the types of code-switching and Macaro’s (2005) framework to analyze the pedagogical functions of code-switching. The findings revealed that three types of code-switching were identified, namely intra-sentential switching, inter-sentential switching, and tag-switching. Intrasentential switching was the most frequently used type, occurring 51 times (54.84%), followed by tag-switching with 27 occurrences (29.03%), and intersentential switching with 15 occurrences (16.13%). Regarding the functions of code-switching, all five functions proposed by Macaro (2005) were found in the data. Giving Instructions was the most dominant function with 32 occurrences (34.41%), followed by Checking Understanding with 23 occurrences (24.73%), Explaining Language with 14 occurrences (15.05%), Managing Behaviour with 12 occurrences (12.90%), and Building Rapport with 12 occurrences (12.90%). The findings indicate that code-switching was intentionally employed as a pedagogical strategy rather than as an indication of limited English proficiency. The pre-service English teachers strategically alternated between English and Indonesian to provide clear instructions, explain language concepts, check students’ understanding, manage classroom interaction, and establish positive relationships with students. Therefore, code-switching can be considered an effective instructional strategy to facilitate communication and support the teaching and learning process in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms.
