Abstract
Teaching speaking skill, has recently been a growing interest in the context of teaching English as a foreign language, since the mastery of this language as a tool of communication at the first place requires the attainment of the speaking proficiency. In this respect, this study aims at examining the effectiveness of teacher code-switching between the EFL learners' native language and English in the process of learning English speaking skill. Hence, using teacher code-switching, as a method for teaching speaking is part of this study. The target population for this study is A1 level of the English learners in private school Oum El Bouaghi downtown. A Quasi experimental design was implemented in this research work. Sixty students were chosen as a representative sample of the whole population. Thirty students were selected to participate in the experimental group while the others were in the control group. The findings of this study have shown that the use of teacher code-switching has no significant effect (neither positive nor negative) on speaking skill' learning, in a sense that its application in oral expression session has no impact on student oral skill.
