The study presented both qualitative and quantitative data to examine and compare the teachers’ discourse patterns from fourteen different elementary schools, seven South Texas and seven North Texas schools located in a southern region of the United States. A non-parametric test including descriptive statistics was used. The focus of this study consisted of describing the impact of elementary teachers’ attitudes and beliefs towards their students’ use of code-switching and their implications in elementary education.
