摘　　要：This paper aims to present the use of code-switching in an English classroom. A general English class with 36 sophomore students from different departments （music, Japanese, management, and so on） and an English lecturer with over 20-year teaching experience were involved in this study. The EFL （English as a foreign language） classroom was tape-recorded and then the functions of the code-switching were analyzed on the basis of Hymes＇ （1962） framework. In addition, after the class observation, participants, including the lecturer and students, needed to fill in one questionnaire related to the use of code-switching and the use of native language in an EFL classroom. Finally, a post-interview of the lecturer was used to explain the lecturer＇s point of view about the use of code-switching and native language during the English learning class. In sum, this study indicates that the use of code-switching and LI （first language） would facilitate the L2 （second language） learning. Thus, L1 could be a useful and important element to help L2 learners to learn the foreign language during the learning process.
