Not many previous research studies have used the mixed approach model, which is a combination of sociolinguistic and applied linguistic methods of studying lecturers’ language behaviors - namely code-switching, code-mixing, and translaguaging. Thus, we reached the following research questions: 1. Which language behavior dominates in Georgian EFL context? 2. What are the sociolinguistic functions of code-switching, code-mixing and translanguaging in the Georgian educational discourse? 3. What are the applied linguistic functions of code-switching, code-mixing and translanguaging in the Georgian educational discourse? Classroom language behaviours can be examined from various viewpoints such as form, location, patterns, and functions of code-switching, code-mixing, and translanguaging themselves. In this article, we aim to classify the sociolinguistic and applied linguistic functions of the above-mentioned language behaviours.enკოდების შერევაკოდების გადართვაინგლისური, როგორც უცხო ენაCode-mixingCode-switchingEFLtext::journal::journal article10.48616/openscience-283
