Abstract
This article studies the code-switching phenomenon in an Italian language teaching context from the University of Annaba, in Algeria. Certain passages in Italian, Arabian and French spoken in Algeria and produced mainly by the teachers from the department of Italian language will be examined, using discourse analysis as the theoretical model. The study will be centered around the linguistic choices of teachers in their interactions with the students, seeking to understand the nature of and the reasons behind code-switching in the discourse. This contribution will show that the frequent presence of these alternations is necessary for the pedagogical process.
