Abstract
This study, entitled “An Analysis of Code-Switching of English Studies Major Students Using English as a Medium of Instruction in the Online Classroom”, had 2 main purposes which were to identify and classify code-switching used in an online classroom, and to analyze the functions of code-switching used in the online classrooms. The subjects were 35 third-year English study major students selected by the purposive sampling technique, and the online classes were all conducted by a Thai lecturer using English as a medium instruction in the online classroom at the Faculty of Humanities, Chiang Rai Rajabhat University, Thailand. The research instruments employed in this study included the online classes via the Zoom Video Conference Program and Google Meet, embedded VDOs via the Zoom Video Conference Program, code-switching observation checklists, and online in-depth face-to-face interviews. The data were all analyzed, categorized, summarized, and were also presented with descriptive technique with using percentage and frequencies.
The results of the study revealed that the most frequent CS function from English to Thai, in terms of the Thai lecturer’s code-switching functions, was clarifications (76.14%), meanwhile calling for attention (0.96%) was rarely used. Furthermore, in terms of the Thai lecturer’s Thai–English code-switching use inside the online classrooms, the most frequent Thai–English CS function was clarifications (70.37%) whereas his code-switching on apologies (1.23%) was rarely used. On the other hands, in terms of the English Studies major students’ code-switching functions, it also showed that the most frequent English–Thai CS was clarifications (45.76%), meanwhile expressions of gratitude (3.38%) were rarely used. Also, their clarifications (42.10%) were mostly used to switch Thai to English whereas their question shifts (21.05%) were rarely used.
