Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and strategies faced by Indonesian EFL teachers in implementing translanguaging pedagogy in their classrooms. Translanguaging, which involves using multiple languages in the learning process, offers both opportunities and difficulties in multilingual contexts.The purpose of the study is to explore EFL teachers’ challanges and how they manage translanguaging in the classroom. A qualitative case study was used in order to explain the used of translanguaging. The study conducted with three junior high school EFL teachers, the research employed classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed several challenges, including students' over-reliance on their native languages, lack of clear translanguaging policies, and insufficient exposure to English, which hindered language development. Teachers faced difficulty in balancing English use and students’ reliance on their daily languages, with some struggling to establish consistent rules for translanguaging. To address these issues, teachers implemented strategies such as setting clear classroom rules, encouraging English practice outside the classroom, and gradually increasing English exposure in lessons. However, the study highlighted the lack of clear strategies and support from institutional policies, making it difficult for teachers to effectively manage translanguaging. It can be implied that without clear institutional policies and targeted teacher training, the potential benefits of translanguaging in EFL classrooms may not be fully realized, as teachers struggle to balance English exposure with students’ use of their native languages.

Abstract

In Indonesian multilingual classrooms, students come to the classrooms with the ability to speak more than one language. Previous studies have highlighted that teachers should view the languages as resources for learning, instead of problems. In this context, translanguaging emerges as a relevant and pedagogical approach to be implemented. This study investigates the perceptions of three Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers about translanguaging, the kinds of translanguaging that they implemented, and the ways they dealt with the challenges. A case study was employed, with the data collected through a series of semi-structured interviews and multiple classroom observations from three purposely sampling EFL teachers. Thematic analysis was applied to identify the patterns in the data. Findings reveal that teachers viewed translanguaging positively, as it aided comprehension and improved students’ confidence by providing linguistic support in students' native language. The forms of translanguaging included translation, code-switching, code-mixing, and transliteration, with code-mixing being the most frequent and transliteration was not found. All these findings highlight the importance of implementing translanguaging pedagogical strategies that actively promote multilingualism in the classrooms. This study offers the ways in which teachers could implement such strategies and provides directions for further research.
