Abstract
This study examines students' attitudes towards using their native language (L1) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. The research also investigates translanguaging practices and their relationship with the frequency of L1-L2 usage by students and their language proficiency levels. The study is based on Poplack's (1980) theory, which suggests that bilinguals with strong language skills are likely to switch between languages more quickly during translanguaging. The research used a survey design, with 33 participants from an EFL program at an Indonesian university. Data collection tools included Likert scales and open-ended questionnaires. Findings indicate that students hold positive attitudes towards the use of L1 in EFL classrooms, advocating for translanguaging practices for pedagogical purposes. Additionally, the study reveals that higher L2 proficiency students tend to perform better in translanguaging practices, though there is no significant correlation between translanguaging practices and language proficiency. The implications of this study are discussed, although the provided excerpt does not provide details on those implications.
