| Abstract (English): |
This article discusses codeswitching in a community of practice generated by the Languages without Borders Program in a large public university in Southern Brazil. The corpus presented in this article consists of a synoptic chart with the description of 15 events involving at least one English Teaching Assistant (ETA) and has codeswitching as an integral feature, as well as the transcription ofone prototypical interactional event in which codeswitching happens. Ourinterpretation of the data suggests that (1) codeswitching is a central resource in these interactions, and that (2) these interactions seem to culminate in: (a) student teachers practicing and learning English and English-speaking culture from the ETAs, (b) ETAs practicing and learning Portuguese and Brazilian culture from the student teachers. In addition to that, codeswitching seems to be a style that demonstrates engagement in the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): |
Este artigo discute codeswitching (alternância de códigos) em uma comunidade de prática gerada pelo programa Idiomas sem Fronteiras em uma grande universidade pública no sul do Brasil. O corpus apresentado neste artigo consiste em um quadro sinótico com a descrição de 15 eventos que envolvem pelo menos um professor de inglês assistente (English Teaching Assistant) e têm codeswitching como um componente característico, bem como a transcrição de um evento interacional prototípico em que codeswitching ocorre. Nossa interpretação dos dados sugere que (1) codeswitching é um recurso central nessas interações, e que (2) essas interações parecem culminar em: (a) professores bolsistas praticando e aprendendo a língua inglesa e cultura norteamericana com as ETAs, e (b) ETAs praticando e aprendendo a língua portuguesa e a cultura brasileira com os professores bolsistas. Além disso, codeswitching parece ser um estilo que demonstra pertencimento na comunidade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
