Today I want to talk about code switching. Code switching is when a person
switches, or ___________, from on way of talking to another. Usually, it ___________ in
different ___________. So, a person may use one dialect at home, and then code switch to
another dialect at school or ___________.
One example of code switching is the way teenagers change their ___________ when
talking to their friends or to an ___________. You probably experienced this as a teenager
there were some ___________ words that you used only with your friends, not with parents
or teachers. And your parents probably ___________ the way you spoke, right? Parents
always hate teen slang. But anyway, this slang, its really a teenage dialect. And when
teens switch from the teen dialect to the ___________ dialect, this is code switching.
Let me give you an ___________. Lets say a teenager says to his friend, Gotta
bounce. Me n the crewre goin shoppin for some phat gear.
Did you understand that? Let me translate: Gotta bounce means Ive gotta
leave; the crew means my friends; phat gear means nice ___________. So the
teens ___________ saying that hes going shopping with friends.
Why do teenagers use this dialect? Well, because its an ___________ way for teens
to show their ___________ to show that they fit in with their friends. It also shows they
are ___________ from their parents. So by code switching into a teen dialect with their
friends, a teenager is saying, Im one of you.
