Abstract :Translanguaging has recently gained widespread acceptance as an effective approach to learning and teaching across various contexts, leading to a surge in research interest. Nevertheless, investigations into translanguaging within English-medium instruction contexts remain relatively scarce. This study aims to delve into the translanguaging strategies of a teacher educator, the evolution of these strategies over time, and the educator\`s sentiments regarding their use of translanguaging. Through the analysis of audio recordings of classes and reflective notes, the study reveals that translanguaging was strategically employed for primarily three purposes: explanation, individual feedback, and encouragement. These applications facilitated successful conveyance of meaning and the maintenance of a natural conversational flow. Furthermore, the study illustrates that translanguaging was employed to varying degrees in teaching lesson objectives, accompanied by a sense of contentment. The findings underscore the significance of teachers engaging in reflective practice and provide a point of reference to mitigate any potential negative emotions arising from the use of translanguaging.
