Code-Switching in Language and Literature Classes - Cebu City CIT-U 2017
The study was conducted to examine the CODE-SWITCHING of teachers and students in Language and Literature classes in Cebu Institute of Technology ? University.
It sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the most common type of code-switching in one utterance in Language and Literature classes?; (2) In what instances do code switching occur?; (3) From the findings, what suggestions can be made to improve classroom communication in Language and Literature classes?
The data were gathered through observations in Language and Literature classes and recordings of interactions between the teachers and the students. The recordings were then transcribed, analyzed, and interpreted.
The study shows that INTRASENTENIAL switching is the most common type of switching in the classes observed. Most common reasons why students and teachers code-switched in classes are to emphasize examples given, clarifying terms, cut-short lengthy explanations, and giving instructions. From the findings of the study, the following suggestions have been made: (1)The teacher should encourage the students to participate in class discussions in order for the students to practice their communication skills in English; (2) Both students and teachers must speak English in class because English is the subject and the medium of instruction; (3) In the first few weeks of the semester, the students may be allowed to use their native tongue but it should be gradually minimized. English is encouraged throughout the semester; (4) A school-wide-re-launching of the English speaking campaign be done; (5) Yearly English activities be doe to encourage students to use the English language such as extemporaneous speaking, impromptu speaking, essay writing, and literary writing; and (6) The use of the English language should also be encouraged in the school offices.
Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations are proposed: (1) A comparative study finding out who code-switched often in classes: the students or teachers?; (2) An investigation in determining the meaning of the Cebuano fillers used in code-switching practices of the administrative staff in their respective offices.
