Abstract

Metalinguistic awareness plays a crucial role in language acquisition, particularly in academic contexts where precise language use is essential. This study investigates the metalinguistic awareness of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, focusing on word-specific orthographic awareness. The research explores the current state of students' awareness and identifies factors influencing their ability to recognize and correct orthographic errors in academic writing. Employing a think-aloud protocol and interviews, the study examines students' cognitive processes while engaging in word-specific orthographic tasks. Findings indicate that students demonstrate varying levels of awareness, categorized into intuition, noticing, meta-awareness, and understanding of underlying rules. Key factors influencing their awareness include linguistic background, exposure to English, and academic experience.

Abstract

This study investigates the pedagogical role of translanguaging in multilingual English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, centering on the perspectives of both students and lecturers, along with the underlying factors that inform these views. Adopting a phenomenological approach, the research draws on data from semi-structured interviews, preceded by classroom observations that served to contextualize the phenomenon and refine participant selection. The findings suggest that translanguaging facilitates deeper comprehension, stimulates active learner engagement, and reinforces linguistic confidence. Nonetheless, Its enactment is mediated by institutional norms, asymmetrical language practices, and a general lack of pedagogical awareness. Participants’ perspectives are further influenced by variables such as linguistic background, language engagement, academic expectations and goals, classroom environment and lecturer practices, peer influence and collaborative dynamics, teaching experience and curriculum policy. These insights point to the pressing need for a coherent and principled framework that integrates translanguaging as a deliberate instructional resource rather than an incidental coping mechanism. The study contributes to the evolving discourse on multilingual education and offers implications for enhancing EFL pedagogy in higher education contexts.
