CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
A. Background of The Study
Nowadays, there are so many people who master more than one language. Most of them are mastering two or more languages, namely their native language and the second language. The language which is usually mastered well by people is their mother tongue or native language. Most of them firstly used their mother tongue to communicate to their family and society. However during their communication with other people and because of the need of understanding other people about what they mean, there is a demand for the people to master or know the other languages. This condition caused many people learn another language to make their communication effective.
People who master more than one language is called bilingual or multilingual. Hundreds of millions people in the world routinely use two or more languages in their daily lives (multilingual). This also happens to the Indonesian people who are multilingual. Indonesian people master at least the Indonesian national language that is Bahasa Indonesia, and their regional language. Well-educated people usually master foreign languages, such as English, Japanese, etc. The fact that people can use more than one language encourages them to mix code whenever they speak. No wonder people can use more than one language at the same time.
Moreover, it is also possible for the bilingual or multilingual people to use more than one language in a communication even though in the same topic. context or people. The condition where people use more than one language or code in the same topic. context, or people in communication is called code mixing. According Suwito (in Rohmadi. 2004 : 60 ) “Code mixing is the use of two or more languages by entering the pieces of language to another while the pieces which inserts do not have function”.
Code mixing can be seen in spoken and written language. Code mixing in written language can found in: newspaper, magazine, novel, etc. The code mixing can also found in spoken language such as: radio program. television program, teaching-learning process, etc. The teaching-learning process especially of teaching speaking skill in class is one of the examples of mixing codes in a spoken language. In these activities, the speaker not only mixes the codes lndonesian and English, but sometimes Javanese too.
Based on the phenomena above, the researcher is interested in conducting a research towards code mixing in the speaking class of English department. The research paper is entitled: THE STUDY OF CODE MIXING IN TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS OF SPEAKING IN ENGLISH DEPARTMENT OF UMS 2007/2008.
B. Previous Study
