Code switching is a widely observed phenomenon especially seen in multilingual and multicultural communities. In ELT classrooms, code switching comes into use either in the teachers‟ or the students‟ discourse. Although it is not favored by many educators, one should have at least an understanding of the functions of switching between the native language and the foreign language and its underlying reasons. This understanding will provide language teachers with a heightened awareness of its use in classroom discourse and will obviously lead to better of instruction by either eliminating it or dominating its use during the foreign language instruction. The teachers are in favor of using target language only but in practice they are bound to use code switching practice for varying reasons. The students do have varying views about the teachers‟ code switching but due to their less proficiency in the target language which is English, the teachers follow the practice of code switching.
