Abstract
This research project investigates linguistic conventions of oral interaction in Science courses in selected Philippine tertiary-level institutions. In particular, the project seeks to study the practice of code switching among Filipino tertiary-level teachers and students. Courses in Science are expected to be delivered in English. However, there is widespread perception that Filipino teachers and students freely code-switch. Many school administrators view this code-switching practice as undesirable because they believe it is detrimental to the development of English language proficiency among the students. Thus, they respond to this perceived deficiency by imposing a strict Englishonly policy in their schools. This analysis of code-switching in Science courses in selected Philippine tertiary-level institutions hopes to determine if the practice is beneficial or detrimental to Science education.
