Description
This book explores the role of first language use in second and foreign language learning. It challenges traditional views of code-switching and presents a new understanding of its relationship with bilingualism.
The authors examine the intersection of theory, practice, curriculum, and policy to argue that code-switching is a natural and essential part of the bilingual experience. This approach has implications for teaching methods and classroom practices in communicative or immersion-type settings.
