Code-switching in the foreign language classroom
xxvi, 260 pages : color illustrations ; 26 cm
"Code-switching has become a relevant topic in the foreign language classroom. It is now recognized by many educators and researchers as a valuable pedagogical tool that can support comprehension, facilitate classroom interaction, and bridge linguistic gaps. In multilingual learning environments, both teachers and students naturally draw on linguistics to define meaning and maintain communication. Understanding how and when code-switching occurs, and its potential benefits and challenges, can help educators make informed decisions about language use in the classroom, increasing the effectiveness of foreign language instruction. Code-Switching in the Foreign Language Classroom explores how and why teachers and students alternate between languages in the foreign language classroom. It examines the effects of code-switching on language learning, including its role in comprehension, participation, and instruction. This book covers topics such as curriculum development, language education, and pedagogy, and is a useful resource for educators, academicians, researchers, and scientists."-- Provided by publisher.
