چکیده

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 and
teaching. To this end, a sample of 60 Iranian female and male students in two different institutions
in Qazvin was selected. They were assigned to four groups. Each group was randomly assigned to
one of the afore-mentioned treatment conditions. After the experimental period, a post-test was taken
from students to examine the effect of different types of code-switching on students’ learning of
grammar. The results showed that the differences among the effects of the above-mentioned
techniques were statistically significant. These findings can have implications for EFL learners, EFL
teachers, and materials’ developers.
