| dc.description.abstract | English and multilingual practices are unavoidable in the EFL classroom. This study
reports on an observational study of the English and Multilingual practices of a
secondary teacher in an EFL classroom. Qualitative data from classroom observation
were collected and analyzed. The instruments are observation transcripts from video
recording and observational form. The findings show that the participant makes use of
several languages, which include Arabic, English, and Indonesian. In addition, she
practices English and Multilingualism by doing code-switching during her teaching
sessions. The participant used English more dominantly during learning activities,
namely when she praises students, giving examples and when she appoints students to
make sentences. Arabic is used when the class is about to finish. In terms of Indonesian,
the participant was using Indonesian when she practiced code switching. The use of
code switching is to encouraging, bridging the conversation and accommodating
student proficiency. Given these findings, in English classrooms in Indonesia, the use
of other languages, especially Indonesian and Arabic, is possible. Therefore, the
utilization of all linguistic resources in English classes in the Indonesian context is
highly possible. | en_US |
