In this study, such phenomenon occurred in English class. The writer analyzed the types of codes that the local English teachers switch or mix during teaching and learning activities in tenth grade English classes. Then, the writer investigated the reasons of using those code-switching and code-mixing. To find out the types of codes, code-switching, and code-mixing, the writer analyzed the two local English teachers’ utterances through the transcriptions of the videos. Besides, the writer also gave questionnaires for the two local English teachers to know their reasons of using those code-switching and code-mixing. After doing the analysis, the results showed that the first local English teacher used more intersentential switching while the second local English teacher used more emblematic switching.
