The study employed a qualitative approach, specifically phenomenology. The teachers were interviewed using semi-structured interview questions. The responses were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step descriptive phenomenological data analysis approach. The findings of this study showed that teachers’ experiences of code-switching were a helpful, practical, and essential tool to foster active participation from the students. The teachers’ reasons for utilizing code-switching are to relieve students’ anxiety and amplify socialization, word power, understanding of grammar, and instruction. Furthermore, the study also emphasizes that excessive use of code-switching can hinder the student’s learning of the target language. Additionally, the teachers face a challenge when they code-switch due to the tone-sensitive nature of the Thai language. Thus, it is suggested that one must be at least conversational in the students' language to use code-switching effectively. It is concluded in this study that teachers should not cease using code-switching since it helps students grasp complex ideas and allows them to be engaged in the classroom. </div> </div> <div class="col-4"> <div class="opanel px-3 py-4 mb-3 text-small"> <b>About this publication</b> <table class="card-data-table"> <tr> <td>Publication type</td> <td>Журнальна стаття</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Number of citations</td> <td>0</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Number of works in the list of references</td> <td>0</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Journal indexed in Scopus</td> <td> No </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Journal indexed in Web of Science</td> <td> No </td> </tr> </table> <hr> <a href="https://plu.mx/plum/a/?doi=10.36892/ijlls.v6i1.1593" class="plumx-summary plum-bigben-theme"></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block-ui" tabindex="-1"> <img src="/static/main/spinner-big.e5e9172fc240.gif" alt="Пошук" style="position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; margin: auto;"> </div> <script src="/en/jsi18n/"></script> <script src="/static/jquery-3.3.1.min.a09e13ee94d5.js"></script> <script src="/static/bootstrap.bundle.min.a454220fc070.js"></script> <script src="/static/chosen.jquery.min.3e9f1dcb9cc7.js"></script> <script src="/static/Chart.bundle.min.bd9843d1866f.js"></script> <script src="/static/vue.d5c38adb09ff.js"></script> <script> const PRIVATE_API_ENDPOINT = '/en/api/'; </script> <script src="/static/main/ouci.4e21b34a6dc7.js"></script> <script src="/static/ouci.min.1de686a37ebe.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.plu.mx/widget-summary.js"></script> </body> </html>
