Abstract: Translanguaging has emerged as a transformative pedagogical framework that challenges monolingual norms by embracing multilingual learners' full linguistic repertoires. Despite its growing theoretical momentum, empirical studies examining translanguaging in Vietnamese higher education contexts remain sparse. This mixed-methods study investigates translanguaging practices among K48 first-year students enrolled in Reading and Writing English 1 at the School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University (TNU). Drawing on García and Li Wei's (2014) translanguaging theory and Norton's (2013) investment theory, the study examines how, why, and to what extent students deploy Vietnamese alongside English in reading comprehension and writing tasks, and how such practices influence academic achievement and affective engagement. Data were collected through classroom observations (n = 12 sessions), semi-structured interviews (n = 20 students), think-aloud protocols (n = 10), teacher interviews (n = 3), and pre/post reading and writing assessments. Thematic analysis and paired t-tests revealed that strategic translanguaging facilitated deeper text comprehension, enhanced ideational development in writing, and reduced foreign language anxiety. However, excessive L1 use correlated with lower writing coherence scores. The findings reveal pedagogical tensions between institutional monolingual policies and students' naturalistic multilingual practices. Implications are offered for curriculum design, teacher professional development, and policy reform in Vietnamese EFL contexts.
