This paper aims to examine the Sudanese teachers’ Viewpoint on using code-switching (CS) in Sudanese English language classrooms. The researchers have applied an analytical and descriptive approach. A questionnaire for teachers of the English language has been employed as the principal instrument for gathering the data related to the research paper. Then, qualitative and quantitative instruments are used. The researchers find out that most teachers have positive attitudes regarding the usage of code-switching. Considering these results, the investigators propose that the teachers employ it as a technique in English language classes since they have encouraging attitudes regarding the usage of code-switching in English language lessons.
