Social norms and rules in the interaction of a bilingual classroom

Journal entitled Managing  multiple normativies  in  classroom  interaction: Student  responses  to teacher  reproaches  for  inappropriate language  choice  in  a  bilingual  classroom examines how  language  choice  is  managed  at  the  crossroads  of  social  norms  and  rules  in  the  interaction  of  a bilingual  classroom.

Educational  institutions  are interesting  sites  for  investigating  the  normative  nature  of  social  conduct  because  they  routinely  interface  the classroom  rules with social norm,  designed  to  establish  social  order  and  to  socialise  students  into  the wider  community,  and  students’  own  norms  meet. Normative  orientations  towards  language  choice  and  language  alternation  have mostly  been  studied  in  classrooms  in  which  two  or  more  languages  are  available  to  the students.  In managing the classroom, teacher involves handling relations between individual students and the classroom itself.  When teacher  indicate  that  a  student  has  breached  a  local  rule,  they  face  the  practical  task  of  identifying  the  rule-breaker. The teacher must give the right correctness and tell them to use appropriate language choice without any sarcasm. The important thing is when we teach bilingual classroom is necessary to have many references about the use of English language whether in formal and informal situations and manage well the classroom to make the students ready on using language in the society.
