Abstract

This study aimed to: (1) describe the form of code-switching, (2) describe the causative factors of code-switching, (3) describe the form of code-mixing, and (4) describe the causative factors of code mixing in the EFL teaching and learning processes (A sociolinguistic analysis). The participants of this research were the ninth-grade students of SMP TELKOM Makassar in the odd semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The research instruments used were data cards and recording devices. The data collection technique is done by using a recording technique and transcribing technique. The result of the study revealed that the form of code-switching in EFL teaching and learning processes is code-switching in the transition from Indonesian to English (external form) and from English to Indonesian (internal form). While the forms of code mixing are at the word, phrase, and clause levels. The factors that lead to code-switching are the speaker's personality, speech situation, the presence of a third person, switching the subject, and the intent and purpose of the speaker. Meanwhile, the factors that cause code-mixing are limited use of codes, habits, function, and purpose, and factors of the ability of speakers to use two or more languages.
