Code-Switching Used by The Members of English Meeting Club
Abstract
This study explored the practices of Code-Switching by the members of the Benteng Panynyua English Club (BPEC) at Fort Rotterdam, Makassar in South Sulawesi. It focused on finding out the types of code-switching used by the members of BPEC and the members’ reason for using code-switching. The researcher applied the descriptive qualitative method to explore the objectives of this study. In this study, the participants were the 15 members of the Benteng Panynyua English Club who actively joined at the English meeting of BPEC. The data gathered through conversation meeting recording by using a video recorder, interview, and field notes. The analysis showed that the members used three code-switching types, namely: intra-sentential code-switching, inter-sentential code-switching, and tag switching, and members of Benteng Panynyua English Meeting Club used code-switching because some reasons, as follows: the lack of facility, the mood of the speaker, the need to amplify and emphasize a point, habitual expressions, the need to show identification with a group, and the need to address different audiences. They switch their languages from English to Bahasa, Bahasa to English, Bahasa to Makassar Language, Makassar Language to Bahasa, English to Makassar Language, or Makassar Language to English. Sometimes, they also switch all the languages above during the English Conversation process. It means that they used three languages in the English discussion process. However, the members used code-switching because code-switching was very useful in conducting English conversations at the meeting Club.
