Language may be used to communicate, learn, and express identity. Adopting Chinese schools as a focal point, this dissertation explored how Chinese-Canadians establish their cultural identity through code-switching. This dissertation was guided by four research questions: (1) How is the prevalence of code-switching among Chinese teachers, parents and students at home and school? (2) How do the teachers, parents and students perceive and compare the communicative, learning and identity-reflective functions of language? (3) How do they form their cultural identity through language use and code-switching? (4) What do they understand as, the relationship between language use/code-switching and identity formation? Several types of data were gathered: Three Canadian specialists in Chinese language education were interviewed; 203 students were recruited from six Chinese language schools in Greater Vancouver to answer a structured questionnaire; eight triplets of parents, teachers and students participated in class observations, home visits, and group discussions; and data were gathered from students’ self tape-recording, written logs and instant messages. It was found that the students did the most between-turns code-switching, while the parents did less and the teachers did the least amount of code-switching. Most participants considered the communicative function of language the most important, the learning function less important and the identity-reflective function the least important. Some participants suggested that language may serve different functions simultaneously. I proposed that identity formation is dynamic and multi-faceted. The questionnaire results indicated that most students were proud of their Chinese cultural identity although the parents and teachers thought that the students were not mature enough to understand the real meaning of identity. Most participants thought that no direct relationship was between language use and identity formation because people can use a second language to reflect or form their cultural identity. However, from a broad perspective, a close relationship does exist because people can use any language to reflect their cultural identity.

Anyone plz summarize this?Buying things today is so simple. Just enter a shop, say a book store, choose the desired book and pay

We take money for granted
The most primitive way to buy was to trade. This is exchanging one item for another but one item may have more value than the other so would be unfair. The other downside is that the other person may not want the item, no matter how much worth it has. The next idea was ‘money’ which would be anything from gold coins to seashells. This proved cumbersome to Greek and Roman traders so the idea of cheques sprouted. These could only be cashed by the person whose name was on them. This idea was opted by the government and began to print paper money.
This lead to paper notes being used till today along with other inventions such as credit and debit cards.

IS THIS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO APOLOGIZE TO SOMEONE THAT I TARGETED THEM? TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO TO IMPROVE
soldi70 [24.7K]
It has a great based, yet we want it to be more formal. A good example would be “Hello “teacher”,
I do apologies for my response in today’s attendance question response. It was not to be targeted towards you, but to my brother who has a tendency to correct me a lot. I appreciate you as a teacher and I have no issue with you correcting me on proper grammar usage.”
