Abstract

Code switching – a linguistic phenomenon where two languages occur in a single discourse – has been a subject of various linguistic studies in the Philippines. This study focuses on code-switching patterns, practices, functions, and degrees of utilization in a technical laboratory classroom. It is recommended that code-switching be allowed during informal interactions but not in formal discussion; teachers will remain models so that language preference will not be code-switching alone.
