Abstract
"This research question not only attempts to discover what motivates code switchers, but those motivations change in educational settings (like the U of I). As I drew from my experiences here at the University of Illinois, I also gathered information that could lead me to understand how other students decide when it is appropriate to switch codes. Additionally, my research aims at finding what is at stake when students are code switching to ""culturally survive"". Is their culture or their education ever at risk when they do this?"
