The Impact of Bilingual Education on Code-Switching Patterns in Young Adults

Abstract

        Dual language, the use of two languages interchangeably, is one of the regular occurrences in the contemporary society being globalized. Predictions for the year are that more than half of the global population speaks more than one language (Grosjean & Li, 2013). These multiple languages – or, more accurately, these different ways of speaking – have with them a most interesting process called code-switching, where people flip between two or more languages even in the middle of a conversation or a single phrase.
