Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

Abstract:This research is undertaken at the Secondary Level of Bangladesh Open University (BOU). It attempts to present the frequency of Code-switching and students’ perception towards it and their functions in facilitating EFL learning. Using questionnaires as a method of data collection, the findings reveal that instructors frequently code-switched between Bangla and English. This phenomena was related to both teachers’ and students’ language competence. Students exhibit positive perceptions towards it as a learning tool. Analyses of data reveal that Code-switching helps students to learn their lessons. Moreover, the students are welcoming code-switching very much. Keywords: EFL, BOU, Code-switching (CS), Reasons for Code-switching, L1, L2.
