The respective participants belong to non-profit organization focussing on English education. Obtaining the data, this study used open-ended questions and guided interview. This study reflects the usages and functions of code-switching. The usages of Code Switching are to speed up the explanation of difficult concepts, build rapport between students and teachers, help to explain new vocabulary, and increase teachers' understanding towards students' L1, and become a tool to enhance evaluate students' comprehension on towards the lesson.
