Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to examine any possible correlation between a teacher’s years of professional experience and the frequency of code-switching in his or her classroom and to investigate the frequent functions and factors of code-switching made by experienced and less experienced teachers. The subjects of this study were one Thai less experienced teacher and one Thai experienced teacher from the Foreign Language Department who use English as a medium of instruction in online classrooms on the Distance Learning Television of Wang Klai Kangwon School. Data were collected from four online classroom videos and a questionnaire for teachers. The results show there is no significant correlation between Huberman (1989)’s model of teachers’ professional experience and the frequency of code-switching in the classroom. In fact, the experienced teacher switched back and forth between Thai and English slightly more often than the less experienced teacher, which is not in line with the stated hypothesis. The most frequent functions of code-switching were: asking questions for the less experienced teacher and explaining concepts for the experienced teacher, which in both cases may have been the result of teachers’ and students’ insufficient command of English.
