Taglish in Quantitative Lenses: Exploring Tagalog-English Code-Switching Occurrences in an Online Language Classroom

This study was conducted primarily to investigate the extent to which Taglish was used in an online language classroom. Although general research on code-switching is widely available, our understanding of Tagalog-English code-switching remains inadequate, particularly in an online classroom. The goal of the study was to determine what factors, forms, and functions Tagalog-English code-switching had in an online classroom. Using descriptive statistics, the occurrence was quantified and explained. To achieve the objectives of the study, researcher-made survey questionnaires were given to students who were chosen using the simple random sampling technique. During the gathering and analysis of research data, some interesting observations and implications were found that can be utilized in future instruction. The results were discussed within the context of relevant literature.
