code-switching, oral interaction, and components of communicative competence.Resumo
This project analyzed students' oral interaction and discovered some components of the communicative competence through using code-switching in an EFL classroom at Universidad Pedagogica y Tecnológica de Colombia, Tunja, Boyacá. The active participants belonged to a group of thirty four students who were taking English level one.Likewise, this project sought to discover the students' attitudes towards using both languages, English and Spanish, during the foreign language lessons. In fact, code-switching was not only a useful strategy to gain an effective oral interaction between the participants, but also it helped the process by reducing stress, anxiety, tension and providing confidence and humorous situations. Simultaneously, we are welcoming colleagues to implement this pedagogical strategy in their academic settings to progress the students' learning practice and to create a positive environment.
