“…Having had mastery of one specific language, the mother tongue, one tends to switch to another language to accommodate and facilitate conversation. Code switching serves as a communicative strategy by lowering the barriers created by language differences (Caparaz & Gustilo, 2017). Switching between languages frequently during conversation is a natural process in bilingual and multilingual contexts, as speakers have language control over their respective languages (Kelkoula & Djailed, 2018).…”

There are many conflicting views on the usage of code switching (CS) in English Language classroom (ESL) as many believe that the target language, English, should be the medium of instruction. However, CS seems to be an alternative way in teaching English language to promote better understanding. Especially in this sudden outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, teaching and learning have been shifted to Online Distance Learning (ODL) to adapt to the new norm. This situation has made CS as an effective alternative in amplifying English language teaching and learning process. That is why Shartiely (2016) suggests that the implementation of CS will facilitate learning in language classes, Hence, this research aims to investigate the effectiveness of code switching in the learning and teaching of English language subject through Open Distance Learning (ODL). 50 educators are required to answer a questionnaire consists of 20 questions which covers the frequency on the usage of CS and their opinion on the implementation of CS as an interactive tool in ESL classroom. Meanwhile, 372 students need to answer a questionnaire which consists of 20 questions on the implementation of CS as an interactive tool in the ESL classroom. It is hoped that the findings of this research could provide insights into the usage of CS in the teaching of English language as an interactive tool in online ESL classrooms.

As the internet users in the Philippines have become increasingly rampant, Tagalog Sentiment Analysis is essential when determining general sentiments correlated to a topic. Among Tagalog tweets, backward slang has gained increased popularity on social media. Deep learning algorithms such as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM) have been proven more effective than traditional machine learning algorithms. This study explored and evaluated the effects of backward slang on two deep learning models using performance metrics for classification models. Results show that backward slang helps in the expressivity of textual data, given the improvement in overall sentiment scores.

“…In this study, the speakers switched code mostly because of their lexical need. In some studies (Caparas and Gustilo, 2017;Jdetawy, 2011;Tajudin,2013) this function of code-switching dominated the number of code-switches for the reason of meeting a real lexical need or compensating for lack of an equal translation. Filipinos are bilinguals who use English as a second language.…”

This study investigated the code-switching behavior of the hosts, guests, and callers of the talk show Let's Pray Pilipinas of Hope Channel Southern Philippines. The study examined the syntactic categories of code-switched words, phrases and clauses, and the functions and types of code-switching that occurred on the said talk show. Based mainly on the theories and research studies of Poplack (1980), Gumperz (1982), Hoffman (1991), and Hamouda (2015, the study analyzed the qualitative data through content analysis. After transcribing the select three episodes (from September to October 2018) using the Jefferson Notation, the research found that interjections were the most code-switched syntactic category followed by single nouns, conjunctions, and independent clauses. On the other hand, the study revealed that intra-sentential was the most common type of codeswitching followed by inter-sentential and tag code-switching. The data analysis also showed that lexical need was the most dominant function of code-switching followed by emphasis, interjection, clarification, and expression of politeness. Having single nouns as the top syntactic category being code-switched and intrasentential code-switching as the type of code-switching imply that the speakers of the talk show have a good command in Cebuano and English. Based on the two important theories considered in this study, Theory of Language Domains and Accommodation Theory, Filipinos do code-switching because of the cultural core value of 'pakikipagkapwa'. In another viewpoint, code-switching is inevitable in cases when the conversation involves scientific and technical terms that do not have a lexical equivalent in Cebuano.
