This research focuses on cases of English and English-Spanish bilingual adolescents who have attended school from a young age in the municipality of Yaiza, Canary Islands. A questionnaire on code-switching, language preference, and self evaluated dominance was presented to 29 students in two centres pertaining to these areas and, following results that indicate acceptance towards bilingual constructions, three exercises were devised in the form of a didactic proposal to be adapted to secondary education centres that show similar characteristics as those pertaining to the study. This paper aims to shed light on the necessity for more integral and linguistically tolerant learning environments for students of all profiles, particularly relevant in such fast-changing multilingual environments such as those mentioned in the following pages.La alternancia de código se ha considerado en numerosas ocasiones como una herramienta pedagógica para la educación bilingüe, pero no en las comunidades de inmigrantes de las Islas Canarias, España. Esta investigación se centra en casos de adolescentes bilingües inglés e inglés-español escolarizados desde pequeños en el municipio de Yaiza, Islas Canarias. Se aplicó un cuestionario sobre alternancia de código, preferencia lingüística y dominio autoevaluado a 29 estudiantes de dos centros de estas zonas y, tras obtener resultados que indicaban aceptación de las construcciones bilingües, se diseñaron tres ejercicios a modo de propuesta didáctica para su adaptación a centros de educación secundaria con características similares a las del estudio. Este trabajo pretende visibilizar la necesidad de entornos de aprendizaje más integrales y lingüísticamente tolerantes para estudiantes de todos los perfiles, especialmente relevantes en entornos multilingües tan cambiantes como los que se mencionan en las páginas siguientes.Campus EDUCA SPORTISFilología Inglesa (Lengua Inglesa)HUM685: Lexicón Inglés-EspañolMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MICIU).
