The Use of Code-switching in Teaching Asian Tertiary-Level EFL Students Writing Skill.

The dispute over code-switching (CS) dates back to the 19th century. Numerous studies have been carried out to investigate how code-switching functions, the perception toward code-switching and the motive behind the use of code-switching. However, the use of code-switching in teaching writing skill has yet to be explored deeply, specifically for tertiary-level students in Asia. Therefore, in order to fulfil the gap in the current existing literature, this paper looks into how code-switching is employed so as to teach writing skill to Asian EFL tertiary-level students.
