Résumé :	Code switching is regarded as a linguistic communicative phenomenon by which speakers use more than one language in the same conversation. However, many studies are in conflict as regards whether or not code-switching is a useful language technique that should be used inside the classroom. Therefore, the current work aims at investigating the attitudes of both teachers and first year students of English at Mentouri University towards the use of codeswitching as a beneficial language teaching/learning strategy. It also aims at identifying the main reasons leading to the use of code-switching inside EFL classrooms. Accordingly, we hypothesize that students and teachers would change the code of the language being learnt to the previously known linguistic systems to ensure a better understanding of the course in question. To check this hypothesis, an event sampling classroom observation was carried out over ten sessions of five different subjects along with a questionnaire that was administered to ten EFL teachers and forty students at the Department of English, University of Mentouri, Constantine. The findings revealed that the majority of teachers and students under investigation hold a positive attitude towards the use of code-switching inside the classroom due to the various functions it has. Moreover, the study revealed that EFL students use codeswitching mostly to emphasize and reinforce the meaning, to avoid a misunderstanding, and most importantly to compensate for vocabulary deficiency. The results also showed that teachers’ code-switching is not influenced by age, experience or gender. However, it is bound to the students’ English proficiency level and whether or not they have difficulties in understanding, in addition to the nature of the subject being taught.
