This study focuses on the language attitudes of the third year Bachelor of Arts in English
and Language Studies students of Cavite State University, Indang towards their instructors' use
of code-switching in an English content class. The purpose of this study is to answer what the
instructors' code-switching pedagogical function is as perceived by their students, whether the
language attitudes in regard to the instructors' code-switching habits are positive or negative,
and the possible impact of these language attitudes to both the teachers and learners. The
researchers conducted a survey to their target respondents with a research instrument which
contains statements incorporating the research questions about the pedagogical practices and
language attitudes towards code-switching. Said questionnaires were answered with a Richter
scale and were computed with median and net agreement ratings. According to the findings, the
respondents perceived that their instructors often code-switch for instructional function,
reformulation, and facilitation. Furthermore, the study concluded that the students have a
positive language attitude in regard to the instructors' code-switching even in an English-content
class. In relation to this, it is believed that the positive attitude of the respondents is
accompanied by a positive impact on their learning process as students as they view code-
switching as a student motivation and an effective learning method. Keywords: Code-switching,
Language Attitudes, Pedagogic-functional Code-switching.
