Abstract
This research is undertaken at the Secondary Level of Bangladesh Open
University (BOU). It attempts to present the frequency of Code-switching and
students‟ perception towards it and their functions in facilitating EFL learning. Using
questionnaires as a method of data collection, the findings reveal that instructors
frequently code-switched between Bangla and English. This phenomena was related
to both teachers‟ and students‟ language competence. Students exhibit positive
perceptions towards it as a learning tool. Analyses of data reveal that Code-switching
helps students to learn their lessons. Moreover, the students are welcoming codeswitching very much.
