“…On the other hand, Al-Bataineh and Gallagher (2018) investigated the attitudes and beliefs of pedagogy towards translanguaging practices limited to languages and dialects whenever a written assignment is entrusted to bilingual learners in a course entitled as "Children's Literature" taught as a compulsory course at an English/Arabic bilingual university in UAE. It was evident from the study of Hassan and Ahmad (2015), who found how teachers and learners cautiously amalgamate and swap between Arabic, Urdu, Sylheti and English when encountered with the course content to exhibit how a multiplicity of languages can be enhanced proficiently across different classroom contexts. This study broadly highlighted the significant advantages of translanguaging on account of its practical outcomes and benefits.…”

The primary concern of this paper is to find out the use of the first language among English language learners belonging to diverse cultures and linguistic backgrounds. The studies conducted in the past have shown serious concern about shuttling between multiple languages, known as, Translanguaging; others have found it highly beneficial. Therefore, the primary aim is to explore the strategies adopted via translanguaging practices of learners with multiple literacies, using translanguaging in the university classroom as a valuable strategy. A qualitative research paradigm has guided the study,based on the theoretical framework of Creese and Blackledge's (2010) language ecology approach which exhibits the interdependence of existing linguistic knowledge acquired across languages. Sixty undergraduate students, both male and female, participated in this study selected purposively. Two data collections, i.e. Classroom observations and Focused Group Discussions were utilised. The findings revealed that translanguaging accommodates the learners in achieving communicative proficiency and makes learning effective.
