Özet:
This study investigates the impact of translanguaging pedagogy on academic writing among
English-major university students in Türkiye, aiming to enhance the understanding of how
translingual strategies can improve writing outcomes in an EFL context. Recognizing the
challenges students face in mastering writing skills, this research explores the effectiveness of
various prewriting discussion conditions: no prewriting discussion, discussions conducted in
English, discussions in Turkish, and discussions under translanguaging conditions. By
employing a mixed-methods approach, the study quantitatively analyzes writing performance
through metrics such as word count, grammatical accuracy, and the richness of ideas, while
qualitatively examining the functions of prewriting discussions in fostering idea generation
and argument structuring. The findings are expected to reveal a significant relationship
between the level of translanguaging exposure and the quality of student writing, providing
valuable insights into the role of bilingual strategies in enhancing academic performance. This
research not only contributes to the existing literature on translanguaging in language
