Annotation

This article examines university faculty and students’ views on code-switching (CS) in higher education classes in a Lebanese American-style institution. Recommendations are made to increase awareness of this practice in bi/multilingual academic contexts, given recent concern on its possible negative impact on language use and acquisition.
