Arabic Online Learning: Code-Switching and Code-Mixing in Higher Education

During the pandemic, online learning was simultaneously carried out in all educational institutions in Indonesia and abroad. Even after the pandemic, online education is still taking place, although not at all meetings. The Arabic Language Development Program (ALDP) Faculty of Islamic Studies (FIS) University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), which also carried out this learning, was no exception. This research aims to describe code-switching and code-mixing, as well as the factors behind them, in online learning at ALDP FIS UMM. The source of the data in this study is in the form of written conversations between lecturers and students, which contain code switching and code mixing in online learning with the Google Classroom platform at ALDP FIS UMM in the even semester of the 2019/2020 academic year, which was explored using observation and documentation techniques. At the same time, the data analysis in this study used qualitative data analysis with the steps of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion of results. At the same time, the results of this study indicate that code-switching occurs in the realm of internal and external code-switching. As well as code-mixing occurs in the realm of word mixing, phrase mixing, clause mixing, idiom mixing, and irregular mixing. So even though learning takes place online, both lectures and students should be able to effectively use Arabic both orally and in writing to enhance their language skills.
