Code-switching is often misunderstood by educators and is generally frowned upon in classrooms. “Moreover, bilingualism itself is very poorly understood by most educators, and, for that reason, much of the literature available to the classroom teacher misrepresents language _ processes that are normal for bilingual speakers of every linguistic community” (Valdes-Fallis, Guadalupe, 1978). Code switching can be defined as “the juxtaposition within the same speech exchange of passages of speech belonging to two different grammatical systems or subsystems” (Gumperz 1982, p.59). Cook (2000) alternatively supposed that code-switching is the process of “going from one language to the other in mid-speech when both speakers know the same languages”
