The purpose of this study was to describe different aspects of code-switching as they occurred in the teaching and learning process in a classroom setting with young bilingual children and their parents. The findings indicated that code-switching, in both oral and written form, allowed for effective communication between the parents, the children and the instructor in a way dial was natural and comfortable for all involved. The authors propose diat code-switching be viewed as part of a whole language approach in bilingual contexts.
