Codeswitching
is still considered an intriguing aspect in the sociolinguistic context. The aim of
this study is to include theoretical background, followed by the clarification of codeswitching
at
home and in the L3 English classroom through two transcripts. Additionally, these two aspects
will be compared with other previous studies. For each investigation, two major questions were
provided. One the one hand, the participants in Study A were four employees of Facsa (Gimeno
Group), Castellón and an English teacher. The teacher was a student graduated from Jaume I
University. She was doing the internship in that company by giving classes of reinforcement of
English. The recorded group had a basiclevel
of English (A2). On the other hand, the participants
of Study B were four Romanian people, one mother and her two sons and a family friend. The
recorded took place at their home during the family lunch. Both classroom transcriptions and
theoretical studies were used to collect the data used in this study. The results of this paper show
that the second language (L2) in the classroom is more activated than at home, where the use of
the first language (L1) predominates. However, the change of a particular factor and the physical
setting, might trigger the codeswitching.
The other factor, the context of interaction, influences on
the election of the code and of the use of codeswitching
represents the status relationships
between participants. In English as third language (L3) in the classroom, the change of language is
influenced by the status of the teacher. The students and teachers use the L1, L2 in their L3
teaching, taking into consideration the three conversational functions of codeswitching
and the
three main reasons of codeswitching.
Furthermore, concerning English as a L3 in the classroom,
three different reasons and three functions of codeswitching
were analysed.
