Abstract

This theoretical paper puts forward a concept called "translanguaging writing process". Employing the perspectives of raciolinguistics, translanguaging, and writing process, and based on literature evidence, I elaborate on how translanguaging writing process can serve as a teaching resource, a knowledge internalizing process, and an enjoyment. These are significant for rebuilding bilingual/minority international writers' self-recognition for their home language, heritage, and themselves.
