Abstract

The present study examines the types and the causes of code-switching and code-mixing of Japanese language learners participated in Hiroshima University winter courses conversation. The study used case study design with qualitative methods. The data in this study was a recorded conversation of seven participants of Hiroshima University winter course program, who had studied Japanese for three to four years, and one Japanese native speaker as a tutor. The results show that there are twenty-five data found on internal code-switching, twenty-four data of external code-switching, one data of inner code-mixing, and thirty data of outer code-mixing. From these data, the identified factors that caused code switching were: (1) speaker, (2) speech partners, (3) situation, and (4) discussion topic. While the factors that caused code-mixing were: (1) vocabulary mastery, (2) speakers’ language habit, and (3) the purpose of using language variations.
