Abstract

This study explores the perceptions and motivations behind code-switching and code-mixing among students in an English Education program. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research involved 20 respondents through an open-ended online questionnaire. Findings reveal that students engage in language alternation for reasons such as clarity, habit, social bonding, and academic convenience. Despite insightful outcomes, the study's limitations include a narrow respondent base, single-method data collection, and lack of external variable consideration. The study recommends broader sampling, triangulation of methods, analysis of gender and language background differences, and interdisciplinary theoretical integration to enrich future research
