Answers to the listening activity:
LINGUISTICS
Code switching = changing from one language or dialect to another
- Speak one language at work or school
- Another language at home with their friends
Teen dialect (slang)
Parents don't understand
e.g., To friend: "Gotta bounce. We gotta meet the crew."
To dad: "We have to go.
We're meeting our friends (downtown)."
Teens use teen dialect:
- to (show they) fit in with friends
- to show they are different from parents/ To separate themselves from adults
