Summary
Language is the means people use to convey their ideas from one to another in a society. One of the language phenomena in this world is codeswitching. Code-switching is the changing process of one language to other language varieties within a single conversation or utterance (Wardaugh, 2006:96). Studies show that people switch their language in order to hold the topic of the person they may be speaking to. Code-switching can be used by bilingual and multilingual lecturers for many functions based on their proficiency levels, needs, and interests, for instance in teaching English for the students who learn English, not as their primary subject or Non-English Department Students (Khaerunnisa, 2016:14).
