Interlanguage Processes: Code Switching |
Code Switchingis essentially the process of adjusting your
language use to a social situation. It is a key component in
“getting along” in a social situation – at home, at work, talking
with friends, meeting new people, etc.
View the video,
What Matters – Code-Switching: Communication That Matters
. Think about your own use of code switching.
Describe three situations in which you use code switching, paying
special attention to the social and language cues that cause you to
do this. Be sure to evaluate the effectiveness in your code
switching efforts.
Guided Response: Review and respond to at
least two classmates’ posts. Provide a compare/contrast
analysis between your use and your classmates’ uses of code
switching. How are they similar? How are they
different? What effect(s) could this have in a classroom
setting? Also, be sure to respond to any questions from your
instructor.
