本研究通过对一所私立女校四年级学生的调查，探讨了语码转换在学生互动中的作用。非参与性观察方法被用来记录类和休息时间。通过对学生的调查和对教师的采访，收集了关于语码转换的看法。语码转换话语的功能是通过分析它们发生的会话语境来确定的。结果表明，语码转换的功能涵盖了教学、交际、社会和心理等方面。在34名学生中，44%的人认为语码转换是自然和可接受的，而50%的人不这样认为;五分之四的教师不赞成语码转换，三名教师允许在课堂上有条件地使用语码转换。课堂语码转换的教学和交际功能证明了它在教学和学习环境中的使用，但建议将语码转换限制在非正式的课堂活动中。
The study identified the functions of codeswitching in the interactions of a fourth year class in a private girls‟ school. The non-participant observation method was used to document classes and break periods. Gathering of perceptions regarding codeswitching was done by conducting a survey among students and by interviewing teachers. The functions of codeswitching utterances were identified by analyzing the conversational context in which they occur. The results showed that codeswitching functions spanned pedagogical, communicative, social, and psychological aspects. Forty-four percent of the 34 student respondents viewed codeswitching as natural and acceptable, while 50 percent did not; four out of five teachers did not favor codeswitching, and three allowed its conditional use in the classroom. The pedagogical and communicative functions of classroom codeswitching justify its use in teaching and learning contexts, but it is recommended that codeswitching be restricted to informal classroom activities.
