Code-switching in second language teaching of French This is a qualitative research about code-switching in three classes of French for Swedish speakers. It looks into the reasons why teachers tend to switch languages in the foreign language class environment and contrasts code-switching among bilingual speakers to code-switching by the foreign language teacher, who, according to the author, is most of the time a monolingual speaker resorting to students’ native language for specific reasons, among which are topic switch and socializing functions.
