Diglossic Switching in Classroom Settings (Paperback)

This research work explores the phenomenon of switching from Modern Standard Arabic to Algerian Arabic in classroom. It attempts to find out the reasons that are responsible for middle school pupils' switch. It takes Tlemcen middle school pupils as a case study. It hypothesizes that the pupils use Algerian Arabic in classroom interaction because of lack of fluency in Modern Standard Arabic and negative attitudes towards it.
