Abstract

Code switching is a common social phenomenon in the multilingual community. Research on code switching overlaps in many fields, sociology, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, and pragmatic in particular. This paper reviewed code switching and its early research from different perspectives. And then the models of code switching and degrees of salience were discussed on the basis of adaptation theory of Verschueren’s in English majors’ MA program classes. Eventually, the significance of code switching in language teaching was restressed.
