The aim of this study was to investigate teachers’ attitude to their own use toward codeswitching and their attitudes towards code-switching among students. The study further explores whether there is a connection between teachers’ attitudes/responses and their backgrounds such as age, gender, the student group they teach, and their linguistic background. At the same time, the study is a survey of the teachers beliefs concerning other teachers attitudes and approaches to the phenomenon of code-switching. To achieve the aim of this study, a survey was conducted with a sample of 30 participants. The results show that respondents in age groups 25-34 and 45-54 are the ones who are most positive concerning the students’ code-switching and even encourage it. The study concludes that the age of the teachers has an effect on their own code-switching and their responses towards the students’ code-switching.
