Abstract

This study investigated how translanguaging practices supported students during the academic writing process and how these practices influenced the structure, coherence, and clarity of their academic texts. The study was conducted in a Research Methodology course at a private university in Garut, West Java, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, the data were collected through five classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with one lecturer and three students representing different levels of writing proficiency, and document analysis of the three students’ final research proposals. The observation and interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while the final proposals were qualitatively examined in terms of their structure, coherence, and clarity. The findings revealed that translanguaging occurred throughout the academic writing process, including input and source comprehension, meaning-making and planning, drafting and revising, feedback interpretation, and lecturer scaffolding. Bahasa Indonesia mainly functioned as a resource for understanding difficult academic concepts, generating and organizing ideas, interpreting sources and feedback, and checking intended meanings. English became increasingly dominant when students searched for academic terminology, formulated research components, revised their drafts, and produced their final proposals. Digital-based translanguaging also emerged through the use of digital dictionaries, translation and paraphrasing tools, artificial intelligence, online searches, and mixed-language comments in Google Docs. The document analysis indicated that the translanguaging-supported writing process was positively reflected, although to different degrees, in the students’ final proposals. The proposals generally demonstrated complete and acceptable structures, logical connections among the background, research gap, research questions, objectives, and methodology, and understandable academic expression. Nevertheless, differences remained in organizational consistency, repetition, precision, and the naturalness of English academic language. The study concludes that translanguaging functioned as a process-to-product support mechanism rather than as a replacement for English. When strategically guided by the lecturer, it helped students move from bilingual comprehension and meaning-making toward more structured, coherent, and clear English academic writing.
