Code Choice in the Language Classroom

Code Choice in the Language Classroom argues that the foreign language classroom is and should be regarded as a multilingual community of practice rather than as a perpetually deficient imitator of an exclusive second-language environment. From a sociocultural and ecological perspective, Levine guides the reader through a theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical treatment of the important roles of the first language, and of code-switching practices, in the language classroom.

Glenn S. Levine is an Associate Professor of German and German language program director at the University of California, Irvine. He is also co-editor of the journal Die Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German and president of the American Association of University Supervisors and Coordinators (AAUSC).
