Abstract

Through critical autoethnography, in this chapter I elaborate my translanguaging practices in the Introduction to Applied Linguistics course and reveal that translanguaging practice is a favorable tool to dismantle the dominant monolingual concepts in the English-only classroom. It has not only supported my agency,emotion, deconstructive/decolonization project, and identity affirmation, but also enhanced students’ comprehension of the course content. Two student representatives in my classroom confirmed that through their use of the Indonesian language,translanguaging created a more liberating space as English was no longer a “barrier” in the classroom learning. This suggests that translanguaging not only theoretically but practically creates a space for social justice. Even though constrained in the online context, teaching and learning through translanguaging have proved to remain meaningful for both lecturers and students.
