Abstract

The internet sphere has become a disruptive platform for education, leading to a reworking of the language instruction scene. This research investigates the intersection of Translanguaging Pedagogy with the dynamic digital platform DingTalk, with the objective of enhancing the English grammar learning experience for Chinese undergraduate students. The goal of this study, which is multilingual context-based, is to investigate the as-yet-unexplored field of using students’ linguistic repertoires in virtual environments. Utilising a mixed-methods methodology, this work incorporates a quasi-experimental design and qualitative investigation to elucidate the complex interaction between Translanguaging Pedagogy and the immersive potential of DingTalk. The study involved a population of 58 Chinese undergraduate students, with qualitative insights further enriched through interviews with 4 participants. The results reveal notable enhancements in English grammatical skills among individuals who participated in the Translanguaging method using DingTalk. These findings underscore the effectiveness of incorporating Mandarin as a cognitive bridge. Qualitative observations shed light on the cognitive and emotional aspects of this new method, unveiling its profound influence on the acquisition of language. The present study aims to alter educational paradigms by illustrating the mutually beneficial connection between pedagogy and technology in the context of improving language acquisition. In light of the global shift towards remote education, this research presents a groundbreaking approach that paves the way for a future characterised by comprehensive and skill-oriented language instruction, fostering inclusivity.
