Code Switching In Classrooms

In the article, “Learning How to Code Switch: Humbling, but Necessary,” I learned that I can relate to Eric Deggans to my own experience. When growing up I had to code switch, an example when I was in elementary and I was in Bilingual classes from Kindergarten to Third Grade. Then when fourth Grade hit my school wanted to switch me to an English class not a Bilingual classes anymore. My mom that day had a lot of thought about it and she said it was fine that the school suggested that, so I switched. The change was different because I couldn’t speak Spanish in my 4th grade English class anymore and I had to code switch to just speaking English to the rest of my classmates. And when I saw my Last 3rd grade bilingual class moving to 4th grade

There are only forty to seventy Navajo Code Talkers still alive. Navajo code talkers used their native language to help win World War II. The book Code Talker by Joseph Bruchac is about a Navajo boy who is separated from his family and hometown and after World War II. The theme language was power was important when Ned was at boarding school and in after war.

The origin of code switching can be traced back to multiple scenarios. Around the 1860s slaves were declared free in America. W.E.B Du Bois and Anna Julia Cooper were firm believers that who embraced assimilation and saw higher education as the cure-all to racialized problems. Du Bois, in particular, is famous for his assertion that it would be the “Talented Tenth” of the race who would lead blacks to a better life.

In schools that switch, teachers play a big part in making sure kids learn each subject. Teachers have the opportunity to focus on just on one subject, rather than all of the subjects. In Source 2, “When a teacher teaches the same lesson throughout the day, he or she can ensure that students fully understand the material. The lesson may be of higher quality since the teacher only has to prepare one outstanding lesson to teach several times each day”(Source 2). This is because teachers have more time to really explain this one subject to all of the students. Teachers, who have to teach all of the subjects, may not be explaining each subject thoroughly because they don’t have enough time to prepare for many different subjects.

America is a constant changing place, it is the act of becoming different. Throughout history the Native Americans were mistreated by the Unites States Government, it wasn’t until America realized it needed the Native People to accomplish its victory against Japan. America was in need for the Native American language.

What does the saying mean, “If it isn't documented, it didn't happen”?Why would something not be documented?

There are specific laws and codes of practice in a school setting. It is important to know about them when you work in an education environment as school staff will relay in them in many different situations.

Code Meshing is the process of speaking both formal and informal at the same time; where as code switching is the process of switching from speaking formal to informal, or informal to formal in order to fit in. I choose not to use either of those methods. I used to use code switching most of my life up until I went to high school. My parents taught me to code switch to show respect to my elders. You should not speak to elders the same way you would speak to your friends. I went to a Afrocentric school Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School There we was taught to embrace our history and use Ebonics in our everyday language.

While working with the HCZ school system I found Hartigan and Du Bois’s articles applicable; most of the staff members had the black middle class toolkit. They were able to code switch with the students as a means of communication in order to get the students to perform at higher standards. Staff was able to communicate effectively with students as they created lesson plans they were personally passionate about, and topics students could relate to. Students were consistently engaged and teachers were able to create lesson plans that they were passionate about and that the students would latch onto. HCZ staff used code-switching while working with the students in order to prepare them to advance to college in the future. HCZ has created a model

Remember back in elementary school when friends of yours would create a language or signs to have a conversation without anyone knowing what you are talking about? Well, Code Talkers is very similar to creating a code in school, but more intense and heightened. William R. Wilson, a writer and photographer goes in debt to explain how the Navajo language was brought to serve as a new code in the U.S. Military in World War II. He also writes about who the military has to use to interpret and send out messages for militia combat plans. The author does an exceptional job at being very clear and informative in this article.

According to Saldana (2016), coding in qualitative analysis frequently refers to a word or a passage of text that symbolically attributes essence- capturing, salient, summative, and / or evocative attribute for a passage of text or visual information (p. 4).

Donald Kirkpatrick and his son, Jim, co-authored Transferring Learning Behavior (2005) which concentrated on Kirpatrick’s Level 3 Behavior. The researcher in this TTT study will obtain data on the transfer of learning and possible changes in the teachers’ behaviors as a result of completing the TTT PT Mod 3 training. Focusing on Level 3 is so critical because as Kirkpatrick (2009), stated “unless that training gets used on the job, it 's really worthless." The researcher of this study will survey training participants after they have graduated from the TTT program to provide insight into whether learning transfer has occurred by measuring the frequency of implementation of the technology tool presented in PT Mod 3 when teacher return to their work site.

In this world, there are a lot of languages used to communicate. Nation and cultural diversity are a source of variation in the languages. The diversity of the language used by a particular group is a factor of the occurrence of bilingualism. According to Grosjean (1984, p. 1) bilingualism is the use of two or more languages. The proficiency of bilingualism may vary depending on the exposure to the other users of language and opportunities to use the language. It is one of the factors of replacement of the language. This phenomenon known as code switching, it can occur as a whole, the incorporating elements of other languages in the language being used, or the turn of a variation of a language. Based on Poplack (1980) theory code switching is the alternation of two languages within a single discourse, sentence or constituent. Garrett (2010, p. 11) said that code switching is the most powerful feature of informal communication. Code switching happens when speakers speak in one language into another language as example when they
