DISCUSSION AND RESULT
This section presents the findings from interviews conducted with two participants concerning code mixing and its effects on their speaking abilities in colleges in Indonesia. The reflective face of both positive and negative impacts of code mixing, as experienced in real-life academic and social contexts, is reflected in their responses.
 Both respondents stated that code mixing impacts their ability to speak in English, but with somewhat different results of this process. Participant 1 felt that, although code mixing 'facilitates' the speaking skill, it can hinder complete proficiency because it creates a reliance on the inclusion of the mother tongue. This remark corroborates the existing literature that states code mixing is a facilitator and at the same time can be a barrier to language development.
Participant 2 demonstrated improvements in pronunciation over time; however, lexical development was still restricted due to code-mixing. As indicated above, this finding corroborates Sert's (2005) assertion about code-mixing being both a facilitating and a constraining resource depending upon how the exploitation of it goes.
