Abstract

The analysis focus on the use of Arabic and French by the teacher in a foreign language class in a Moroccan context. This activity, codic alternation or code-switching, is analyzed through an observation of three different teachers while keeping the same level (3rd year of college secondary). All three used code switching in their speech in class, although this manifestation differed from teacher to teacher.

It is however imperative to underline that this research work is not intended to provide solutions for the use of code alternation in class, far from it, it is simply a qualitative study allowing understanding of this sociolinguistic phenomenon and the reflection on its use in a didactic situation.
