Abstract | Translanguaging pedagogy has recently been given a lot of attention within tertiary institutions; however, there has been a paucity of research on Thai teachers' perceptions of this issue. This study therefore adds to existing literature by examining Thai university EFL teachers' views on classroom translanguaging and its adoption at tertiary institutions. Data was collected from 10 Thai EFL teachers across 5 universities in Thailand through classroom observation, field notes and semi-structured interviews, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The data revealed that the teachers all showed a generally positive attitude towards classroom translanguaging practices (i.e. the use of learners' L1 in the classroom) for L2 and content learning. Moreover, they reported that it is seemingly difficult to completely dismiss the learners' L1 (Thai) in Thai classrooms where English is used as the medium of instruction. Implications for practice, policy and research are highlighted, as well as limitations. (As Provided). |
