Keywords: Translanguaging, Perception, English for Academic Purposes
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the the implementation of translanguaging strategies in EAP courses and to investigate students’ perceptions towards the use of translanguaging strategies in EAP courses at Perguruan Tinggi Islam Darul Maarif (Petidam). It employed mixed-method research by conducting observations, distributing questionnaires, and interviewing students to gather data. The observations were used to describe the integration of translanguaging in English classrooms and conducted in the students of Islamic Education, Ushuluddin, and Syaria. The questionnaires were distributed through Google form while the interview was held face-to-face to investigate the students’ perception of utilizing translanguaging in the classroom. The findings revealed that translanguaging implemented in the English classrooms could assist the students in understanding materials, and the students responded positively. Therefore, it could be concluded that translanguaging can be used as a good strategy in English teaching and learning.
