Teacher's code switching and its perception among Thai teachers and Thai students in and intensive English program
Abstract:
This study attempted to investigate teachers code switching and its perception among Thai teachers and Thai students in an Intensive English Program. The instruments utilized were a Likert scale questionnaire, an interview with a teacher, and a video recording of a 6th grade classroom session for 30 minutes. The participants were 20 students and 20 teachers from an Intensive English Program (IEP) in a private school in Bangkok. The data was collected in an English-subject classroom. The results indicated that this group of students and teachers had a positive perception towards code-switching in the classroom on teachers language ability, teaching ability, class management and interpersonal relations. The findings show that the teachers viewed the use of code-switching less positively than the students. This might be because of schools policies for the program where teachers are supposed to speak English. The reasons for code-switching were primarily to questions and to explain the content taught in the classroom which in this study was to review a grammar point
