HARMONY AND HYBRIDITY: EXPLORING LANGUAGE MIXING AND SWITCHING IN THE INDONESIAN EFL CLASSROOM INTERACTION
Abstract
This research delves into the dynamic landscape of language use within the Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, specifically focusing on the phenomenon of language mixing and switching. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study seeks to unravel the intricate patterns of code-crossing, aiming to shed light on the nuanced ways in which students and teachers navigate linguistic boundaries. Through classroom observations, interviews, and discourse analysis, the research identifies instances of hybridity and explores the factors influencing language choice. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the sociolinguistic dynamics inherent in EFL classrooms, providing valuable insights for language educators and researchers alike.
