In other words, what might be considered appropriate grammar and language for one scenario will not be effective or even acceptable in another. This ability to alter between various languages, dialects, and/or grammars, depending on the situation, is known as code-switching. In order to explore the concept of code-switching further, read the NPR article “How Code-Switching Explains The World”Links to an external site. and respond to the questions below.

Lastly, describe a scenario that required (or still requires) you to code-switch. Why do you find it necessary to code-switch for this particular scenario?
