Abstract: This study explored the role of code-switching in promoting understanding and inclusivity in multilingual classrooms, focusing on first-year Criminology students at Valencia Colleges (Bukidnon) Inc. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining discourse analysis of classroom interactions with survey data to examine how code-switching supports pedagogical and communicative functions. The qualitative data, drawn from two classroom observations, revealed that teachers and students frequently used intersentential, intra-sentential, metaphorical, tag, and conversational code-switching. These linguistic shifts served to explain abstract concepts, activate prior knowledge, validate student responses, and foster emotional comfort. Teachers alternated between English and Cebuano intentionally to scaffold learning, clarify content, and build rapport with learners. Quantitative findings from a validated survey instrument indicated that students generally perceived code-switching as highly beneficial in enhancing lesson comprehension and promoting inclusivity. The three dimensions, understanding, inclusivity, and overall perception, yielded high mean scores, suggesting strong agreement among respondents. Students also reported greater confidence, engagement, and a sense of being valued when their native language was incorporated alongside English. Thematic analysis reinforced these insights, showing that metaphorical and conversational codeswitching fostered a culturally responsive and emotionally safe classroom environment. Anchored in Gumperz’s Sociolinguistic Theory, Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis, and Poplack’s Code-Switching Typology, the study underscores the pedagogical and socio-cultural significance of code-switching. The study concludes that, when applied purposefully, code-switching can transform multilingual classrooms into inclusive spaces that support both understanding and academic growth.
