A\u202fcohort of students taking a pre-sessional English course at a college of technology in Rwanda were initiated into translanguaging. They were then observed while translanguaging in group activities and interviewed later in focus groups to understand their acceptance of translanguaging as a resource for English language learning. Findings show that students engaged in translanguaging and acknowledged its benefits in their group activities. They nevertheless expressed reservations about embracing translanguaging as a formal pedagogy in their L2 classes. They were willing to opt for English-only classes regardless of their level of English language abilities. Students\u2019 mixed feelings about translanguaging appeared to come from a perception of the English language as more relevant professionally and internationally than other local languages that constituted their multilingualism.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Felix on his new publication!
