Abstract:
The objective of this descriptive study is to look into the situations and attitudes of the
undergraduates towards the teachers’ use of Hybrid Language (HL) in the ESL grammar
teaching classroom. HL is identified as one common practice used by the language teachers
to tackle the communication difficulties while teaching English. It seems that the students
bear different attitudes towards this practice. The present study employed grammar teaching
classroom observations to identify the situations, student attitude questionnaires and also a
focus group discussion with ten randomly selected students to investigate the students’
attitudes towards the teachers’ use of HL during the lessons. The findings reveal that the
majority of the learners bear positive attitudes towards teachers' HL practices; however, there
are also a very few negative sentiments. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the use of
HL judiciously act as a facilitative tool for both teachers and students in the language
teaching-learning process.
