Abstract
Translanguaging as extending beyond a view that EFL students have a unified repertoire made up of all their existing multilingual and multimodal resources. Translanguaging pedagogy lens posits that multilingual students draw on their holistic linguistic repertoire in a fluid way in social interaction in multilingual classrooms. This article aims at exploring a creative pedagogical Linguistic Landscape-based project through engaging Indonesian students to become ethnographic researchers in their local surroundings. Focusing on one of the creative classroom activities through making ‘mood board’ to demonstrate visual awareness of Linguistic Landscapes, this project constructs an EFL classroom as a collaborative translanguaging space that entails the teacher to engage the students in translanguaging practices through using their diverse semiotic resources. The data were obtained through classroom observations and video-stimulated-recall-interview in an Indonesian University. Methodologically, this article applies Multimodal Conversation Analysis to analyse the classroom observation data and then triangulated with the video-stimulated-recall-interview data analysed applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The findings demonstrate how the participants recognize and mobilise the use of their various languages and multimodal practices to challenge the raciolinguistics and monolingual ideologies and facilitate their English learning as a decolonial resistance by incorporating their semiotic resources as a unitary repertoire. That is, the findings illuminate that translanguaging was driven by ideology and culture. What happened in this translanguaging space was a need to communicate in which the students make use of languages and cultures simultaneously or what the researcher calls ‘transcultural communication’.
