During teaching and learning process both teachers and students are using this way intensively. Based on the occurence, researchers chose to take the sample of teachers and students to conduct further interview. When interview was conducted, researhers asked many things which related with the functions of code-switching in the classroom. So, finally both teachers and students attempt to express their perspective on code-switching in the classroom clearly.

1. Teachers' perspective on code-switching in EFL classroom

From teachers' perspective, they consider that indeed the using of codeswitching in EFL classroom really give benefits for them. Teachers use this way to ensure that all students understand the material.  In additional, teachers also assumed that the most important is that all students are understood the concept, the foundation of this concept. If the students have understood the concept so, the ability of students will be increased and enhance. Therefore, on this research, teachers showed how they attempted to use Indonesian in classroom context to ease the process of delivering material, so that the material that explained by teachers are understood by sudents well.

2. The function of code-switching for teacher in EFL classroom

The perspective was not the only aspect why teachers chose to code-switch in classroom. However, the functions of code-switching in classroom were also became the aspects why the teachers chose code-switching in classroom. There are many functions of code-witching so that this way is using by teachers. The first one is code-switching is using for translation. The teachers use it when would like to convey the ideas. Sometimes, the ideas is more undersood by Indonesia or javanese language, so the teachers had no option and decide to use it. Moreover, Uys & Van Dulm (2011) state that teacher can employ code-switching for translation sake. During teaching and learning process, some difficult terms might be found and teacher needed to explain it to Indonesian so the only option was to do code-swtching. The other function of the code-switching providing by teachers were as communication. The teachers use it to make sure that the students understand the message of ideas or material. Futhermore, code-switching also has another function. code-switching is purposed to check the comprehension that owned by students. In the class, the teachers certainly realize that the ability for understanding the material of students are different. Not whole students understand what the teachers explain, so to ensure that the students understand, so the teachers do code-switching in class and explain use indonesia language. The explanation in Indonesia language is considered important because commonly the students more clear and easier to receive the material through Indonesia language. so, that's why the teachers use this way. Therefore, the understanding of context is more important.  At last, the role of code-switching is also expected to be classroom management. During teaching and learning process some deviated behavior might happen because various background and
learning style. Teacher found that using Indonesian was easier to convey anger or order in the class. Therefore, code-switching is needed because it can be considered as tool to ease the process
of delivering material to students. The role of code-switching on teacher’s perspective was highly valued as the asset because teacher saw the opportunity of code-switching to help delivering the material in EFL classroom.

Same function with teacher, code-switching for students in EFL classroom also serves as tool of translation. Students might find it hard to talk in whole English command so they could use Indonesian. Moreover, students also felt that the use of translating language
from English to Indonesian was to avoid misunderstanding emerged from imprecise
explanation of terms. Therefore, the using of code-switching is the things that considered important for teaching and learning process in the EFL classroom because give positive impact especially for enhancing the comprehension of students.
