The study wasconducted using a quasi-experimental design, in which there were an experimental and control group. The sample of the study was fourty two first year LMD students at Larbi Ben M'Hidi Oum-El-Bouaghi for the academic year 2014-2015. The participants in both groups have answered on multiple choicetask.Then, they were treated for a period of four sessions, where the experimental group received vocabulary through the use of code-mixing and the control group received vocabulary extremely in English.Then, they were post-tested through the sametask applied in the pre-test. After analysing the results of both tests (pre- and post-test) obtained from the paired-samples and the independent-samples t- test, itappeared that teaching vocabulary through code-mixing has no effect on students' vocabulary learning.
