The data analysis are done by highlighting the translanguaging practice among students during the process of short-story production. The analyzed data show that translanguaging occurs in every phase of the writing process. The participants of this study applied translanguaging not only to develop their short-story, but also to give feedback to their classmates’ works. The study’s implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research are also discussed to provide clearer path on possible development of studies in the field of translanguaging.
