The problem statements of this research are: what the contexts of English are used and why the broadcasters tend to mix their language with English while speaking. The subjects are four broadcasters from two radio stations, DBS FM and RRI Pro 2. The objects are the contexts and reasons of doing code switching into English. The writer uses recording, interview, and documentary techniques. After collected, the data are analyzed with theories and explained descriptive-qualitatively.
The result shows that the broadcasters tend to use English while opening and closing the broadcast, mentioning the jargon, telling information, connecting the sentences as a signal of new topic, pausing for commercial breaks, telling commercial while on air, saying what listeners can do while the broadcast, quoting the lyric of English song, restating the information, reviewing the songs which have been played, greeting the listeners, and introducing the song to be played.
The reasons of using English are that they have been accustomed to saying those words in English, their perception of English as sophisticated and sell like hot cakes, want to make variation on their broadcast, imitating someone, make special characteristics, forgot the Indonesian words, adjusting with the program and the listeners, and lazy to translate the script into Indonesian.
