Abstract

This study used a mixed methods approach to explore the impact of translanguaging and ELF on final year students’ presentation skills and motivation at GSBL. Findings indicated that they had a positive impact on students’ academic performance and motivation as they facilitated content and language learning and enhanced students’ intercultural and multilingual awareness. The current study concludes by presenting implications for decolonizing the curriculum at London Met. It encourages further experimentation with translanguaging and ELF in HE since it argues that monolingual ideologies should be abandoned due to the increasing drive towards globalization in HE.
