Character Education Values in English Classroom Within Teachers’ Practice of Code-Mixing and Code-Switching

The multilingual environment in English language learning as a foreign language raises doubts regarding the existence and teaching of character education values in secondary schools. This research aims to identify character education values integrated into teacher-student interactions through code-mixing and code-switching linguistic phenomena. The research findings highlight the integration of 16 values through code-mixing and code-switching. The frequency of code-mixing by high and junior high school teachers was notably higher than code-switching. The disparity in these data outcomes reinforces the notion that the atmosphere tends to be relaxed in code-mixing, often unnoticed by speakers.

These findings underscore that code-switching and code-mixing are not negative elements in language learning. Instead, they serve as tools for integrating character education values among secondary school students.

Demystifying character education for the Singapore context

ABSTRACT Amidst global uncertainty, character education has become increasingly important. Yet, academic discourse surrounding the field remains obfuscated. This paper has two aims: First, to provide a broad toolkit to demystify the field of character education, consisting of (i) a basic conceptual GPS for terms like ‘virtue’, ‘character’, ‘morals’ and ‘character education’; and (ii) a lay-of-the-land overview of character education approaches. Second, equipped with this toolkit, we analyse Singapore’s Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) syllabi of 2014 and 2021. Situated within a ‘survivalist’ rhetoric and communitarian tradition, CCE is characterised as a pragmatic, nation-centric amalgamation of various approaches, striving towards a society-oriented goal of maintaining social harmony and cohesion. We identify several tensions in the CCE syllabi, such as its integration of character education and citizenship education, philosophical foundations, curricular content and pedagogical approaches. We argue that elements of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics offer theoretical scaffolding to address some of these tensions.
