Reflections

I dont think my research went well because i didnt learn anything from the survey questions or what i already knew. if i were to do this another time i would pick another question that kids are more interested in. This topic started to bore me so i would not pick this topic again.

Recommendations

After my research on code-switching I don't think anything about code-switching should change. Not many kids are aware of it or even know if they do it, so it might be cool if somehow kids were aware of code-switching.

Conclusions

My research shows that 57% of Decatur High School students don't care when their friends code switch or they might not be aware of what code switching is. I didn't know what code switching was until i started this blog so i suspect that they don't either.

Results

this research question was asked to 96 ninth grade students at Decatur High School. 62 kids were female and 32 were male. The majority of kids chose neutral for the answer.

What is code switching?

Code switching is when you change something about the topic of the discussion because of the relationship you have with the people around you. Code-switching is defined as the practice of switching between a primary and a secondary language or discourse. In my situation of code-switching I think I act more like myself when im with my softball friends because we have so much in common. With my Decatur softball friends I feel like no matter who I want to be I can be.

Research Questions

These are some questions I will use to guide my research about code switching:
-I feel angry when a friend of mine code-switches?
-Does Code-Switching make life easier?

codeswitching

I chose to write about the topic code switching because I feel like I need to code switch beween my softball life and decatur and
I want to know why. When I'm with my softball team I feel like I can be myself with some things but not others. when I'm in decatur I feel like I can whoever I want to be and no one will question it. I want to know why they are so different.
