Abstract :
The present study examined the comparative effect of different types of code-switching, i.e., intrasentential,inter-sentential, and tag-sentential switching on EFL learners grammar learning andteaching. To this end, a sample of 60 Iranian female and male students in two different institutionsin Qazvin was selected. They were assigned to four groups. Each group was randomly assigned toone of the afore-mentioned treatment conditions. After the experimental period, a post-test was takenfrom students to examine the effect of different types of code-switching on students’ learning ofgrammar. The results showed that the differences among the effects of the above-mentionedtechniques were statistically significant. These findings can have implications for EFL learners, EFLteachers, and materials’ developers.
