A Case Study on Teacher' s Code-Switching in Junior English Class Abstract Code-switching is a widespread phenomenon throughout the world which has generated much discussion and debate. Researchers treat code-switching as a communicative strategy, but there is disagreement as to whether this strategy is an avoidance one or an achievement one. This case study is to explore the code-switching of a secondary EFL teacher in Chinese contexts. In particular, this research investigates the frequency of code-switching in EFL classes and then describe and analyze the functions of code-switching. Some related variables that influence teachers' code-switching will also be explored and compared. The data of the study is made up of notes and audio recordings at Hangzhou Greentown Yuhua School. This study intends to develop the teachers' conscious understanding of the principles underlying foreign language teaching and give some practical techniques that teachers can use in English lessons. 48263

摘 要语码转换作为一种普遍存在的现象，在世界范围内引起了广泛的讨论和辩论。有研究人员将语码转换视为一种交际策略,然而针对这种策略是否有效仍然存在分歧。本个案研究试图探究一名国内初中英语老师的课堂语码转换情况。特别是,本研究将统计初中英语课堂中教师使用语码转换的频率,然后描述并分析课堂语码转换的功能。研究还探索和比较了一些影响初中英语教师课堂语码转换的相关变量。研究数据主要来源于笔者在杭州绿城育华学校实习期间的所做的笔记和录音材料。希望本研究能够更好地去帮助初中英语教师下意识地去理解外语教学的原则,并提供一些英语课堂中实用的技巧。
