<![CDATA[Translinguaging is a phenomenon of language use where the people are bilingual or multilingual. Tanslinguaging occurs in the community and schools, both rural and urban areas. At the Indonesian secondary school level, the learning of English as a foreign language (EFL), teachers and students at schools use the target language (English) and the Indonesian language as the official language in the education system. But, local languages also occur and are used in schools for the students who have their local language, including in rural schools. This article uses the literature review method to analyze the use of translanguaging (Indonesian language, local language, and English) in EFL classrooms at schools and its effects. The author collects several national and international journals. The journal was compiled purposively, which related to translanguaging at schools. The literature review found that translinguaging in the EFL classroom influences students' performance with multilingual backgrounds (Indonesian language, local languages, and English). Therefore, translinguaging-based instruction is considered good if applied to learning English as Foreign Language (EFL).]]>

The data collection technique used is a questionnaire via Google form. This study uses qualitative in analyzing the data obtained. Based on this research, the researcher found that the need for consideration of social semiotics in the selection of learning material as printed-based literacy in English language teaching is very necessary. The biggest difficulty is applying social semiotics as a way of making learning material as printed-based literacy in learning English later. However, the textbook still does not use social semiotics learning material as printed-based literacy in English learning. Therefore, the six language components in social semiotics are needed. With the existence of the six language components in the study of social semiotics, it is hoped that teachers will find it easier to select and make learning material as printed-based literacy in the school environment]]>
