الملخص

In Libya, The English language plays the role of a foreign language that has been adopted in different levels, whether in terms of institutions or university faculties as a medium of instruction . While theoretically, all academic programs are supposed to use English as the medium of instruction, code-switching is common in classroom settings throughout oral presentations. Undergraduate education students used to apply the code switching in class room , which is the setting of this research . This paper, therefore, attempts to identify the attitude of education students towards code-switching when presenting oral presentations and also evaluate how frequently it occurs in students' speech. The sample consisted of 100 students from the Faculty of Education who are also currently pursuing their bachelor's degrees. A questionnaire was as tools that was employed in this research; it was distributed to each student out of the total of 100 through the link using a Google Form. The present data were analyzed using descriptive statistical procedures by using spss . This research showed that code-switching was being applied a positive attitude by students when making oral presentations. Most of the respondents believed they employed code-switching as a strategy to reply for their insufficient proficiency in English, such as in vocabulary, and deliver their oral presentations more smoothly. The following are critical implications, as well as recommendations for further research.
