“…CM refers to "all cases where the lexical items and grammatical features of two languages appear in the same sentence" (Muysken, 2000) e.g., "She is friendly and baik" as explained later. In other words, CM is the alternation of one language to another language within the same utterances or in the same written context (Bukhari et al, 2015). Next sections report the data of both CS and CM as obtained from the classroom observations conducted.…”

Code switchingCode mixing Functions of CS English as a second language Malaysian ESL classroom Sabah.The dearth of research investigating the use of code-switching (CS) in English as a second language (ESL) classrooms in Sabah, Malaysia, has triggered the current study to examine this phenomenon at a secondary school in Tawau, Sabah. A qualitative approach was utilized by the present research through conducting classroom observations where data were obtained from three Form-Five ESL classes. Both teachers" and students" CS uses were analysed utilizing Sert ( 2005) functions of CS adopted from the framework proposed by Mattsson and Burenhult-Mattsson (1999), Eldridge (1996) and Cole (1998). Results revealed that teachers and students in ESL classrooms in Tawau not only use CS but they also use code mixing (CM). Furthermore, data analysis also showed that CS has different functions for both teachers and students. While teachers use CS mostly for repetition function or switch, students" use of CS is mainly for floor holding and reiteration. Further research may explore the use of CM in ESL classroom as this area of research has not been investigated adequately whether in Malaysia in general or in Sabah in particular, which would enable future studies to determine the functions of CM and examine the differences between CS and CM in ESL classroom. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of the very limited studies that have established a differentiation between the uses of code-switching (CS) and code mixing (CM) within a language learning context. Additionally, this research is also one of the few investigations to explore the use of CS in the Malaysian State of Sabah, particularly, in Tawau region.

“…1-2, emphasis original) The issue of CS on Facebook has been touched upon by various researchers so far. There are examples of studies that analyze switching between English and the following languages: Arabic (Alhazmi, 2016), Hindi (Jamatia, Gambäck, & Das, 2015), Indonesian (Syam & Furwana, 2018), Malay (Bukhari, 2015), Mongolian (Dovchin, 2017), Spanish (Solorio et al, 2014), Thai (Kongkerd, 2015). In the majority of the aforementioned cases, the switching involves English and non-European languages.…”

Social networking services, such as Facebook, are important channels of communication both for monolingual users and for those having various degrees of proficiency in L2, with the latter deploying expression both from L1 and L2. It can, therefore, be presumed that communication on FB plays a role in practicing the use of L2. One of the phenomena that can be examined in relation to that are various forms of code-switching. There is animmense research gap related to Polish-English code-switching appearing on this SNS. To obtain a full picture of the issue, the paper identifies and discusses types, strategies, and functions of Polish-English code-switches found in posts and comments published by Poles on Facebook in 2014–2019. It also indicates possible applications of FB tools and materials including CS in foreign language teaching and learning and shows how Facebook enables “social learning” (Mallia, 2013). The research is based on a corpus constructed by the author of this article. An integrated approach with both qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis is used in the paper. Three main CS types (intrasentential, intersentential, and tag-switching) and strategies (alternation, insertion, and congruent lexicalisation) have been attested in the material. The code-switches mostly indicate in-group membership but also, for example, introduce humor, quotes, and signal a lack of L1 equivalents. The study points out that there are certain relations between the types, strategies and functions. The resultsof the research are collated with the recent studies on Polish-English and Indonesian-English CS on Facebook.

“…It is a unique language manner of speakers who speak more than one language and it is considered as a crucial characteristic of their communication skills. In Malaysia, switching to another language is called as Bahasa Rojak (Bukhari et al, 2015). They also stated that Malaysian locals use Bahasa Rojak whether in verbal communication or online communication.…”

This research proffers a critical overview of the theoretical and analytical occurrence of code-switching by reviewing a range of empirical and relevant studies. In particular, the dominating and governing factor of computer-mediated communication and code-switching. This research also probes the pertinent concepts, focusing on the types of code-switching and its correlation with computer mediated communication. Subsequently, it reviews the structural features of WhatsApp, deliberating the occurrence of code-switching among UiTM undergraduates in Malaysia, noting the social motivation of style-shifting. The research concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasising on the issue of its applicability to the analysis of second language acquisition and learning.
