- Abstract
This research was conducted at an international university in Bangkok, Thailand, and aimed to investigate the graduate students' perceptions upon pedagogical translanguaging. A mixed research design was used to process the data collection and data analysis. There were two instruments applied in this study. The 5 Likert scale questionnaire within 26 items was administered to 147 participants. Additionally, the interview was performed by six students with a bilingual education background. The results of the quantitative data and qualitative data were addressed the two objectives of this study, the first objective is to investigate how the different factors influence graduate students to use translanguaging; the second objective is to investigate how graduate students perceive translanguaging as the main approach in the bilingual classroom. Overall speaking, the findings of the quantitative data showed that these six identified factors highly influence the students to use translanguaging (M = 4.14, SD = 0.778), "social and parental support (M=4.21, SD = 0.761)", "the proficiency of target language (M=4.17, SD = 0.741)", "the difficulty of contents (M = 4.09, SD = 0.845)", "The willingness to use L1 (M = 4.10, SD = 0.774)", "The encouragement of teacher (M = 4.13, SD = 0.775)", " The metalinguistic awareness (M = 4.14, SD = 0.784)". For the findings of qualitative data, it indicated that translanguaging used to exert leverage on the emergent bilingual students in the second language learning should be moderate, and pedagogical translanguaging should be adapted among students with different language proficiency.
