  abstract: The present study was designed to contribute to the understanding of second language acquisition by investigating the language choice and codeswitching behavior employed by eight prekindergarten Korean bilingual children. The study focused on differences in bilingual behaviors between home and school settings. The subjects were between the ages of 4 years, 11 months (4;11) and 5 years, 7 months (5;7). The specific questions addressed in the present study were as follows: 1. How does the language choice of Korean bilingual children differ at home and at school? 2. How does the codeswitching behavior of Korean bilingual children differ at home and at school? The data for this study consisted of spontaneous speech samples and various observational records of the children. They were collected over a period of two month by means of observational note-taking, audiotaping, and videotaping, both at home and in the school setting. The major findings are as follows: 1. In a school setting, there was a clear perception among the Korean bilingual children of English as the school language, which indicated a difference in verbal interaction and language choice, while there was no equivalent degree of perception of Korean as the home language. 2. The influencing factors for language choice-- setting, participants' language competence, language preference, and message form-- affected the Korean bilingual subjects in home and school settings. 3. The Korean subjects preferred to use English for certain words, such as numbers, color adjectives, and exclamations, in both settings. 4. In a school setting, the unbalanced bilingual children codeswitched more frequently than the balanced bilingual children, while conversely in the home setting. 5. With regard to the distribution of codeswitching, there was no significant difference in the two settings. Syntactically, intersentential codeswitching occurred more than intrasentential codeswitching. Sociolinguistically, situational codeswitch…
