Abstract

This research examines code mixing in student discussions during the fourth semester of the Language Education Study Program at PGRI University, Palembang. Code mixing involves the use of a main code alongside other codes that lack function or autonomy. Descriptive methodology is employed, using fourth-semester students as participants. Data analysis employs the intralingual equivalent technique, while data collection involves observation and recording. Results indicate that the highest percentage of code mixing (6.1%) occurs in the first recording, with 64 instances out of 1056 words. The lowest code mixing percentage (3.2%) is found in the fifth recording, with 15 instances out of 463 words. Overall, code mixing percentages for subsequent meetings range from 4.2% to 5.9%. This study sheds light on code mixing patterns in student discussions, contributing to language education research.
