| Description: | Background Translanguaging is “the act performed by bilinguals of accessing different linguistic features or various modes of what are described as autonomous languages in order to maximize communicative potential” ( Skutnabb-Kangas et al., 2009 ). Translanguaging can be used as a tool to empower undergraduate nursing students to use their chosen strongest written language for assignments. Method Students in an undergraduate nursing elective course at a large, public urban university could submit specific noncollaborative (solo) assignments in their language. Results Three students in a class section of a total of nine students chose to submit one or more assignments in a language other than English. Students reported that this experience was unique and empowering. The instructor noted a difference in the writing level in the language of choice other than English. Conclusion Nursing educators should consider allowing and/or encouraging students to submit specific written assignments in their chosen language. [ J Nurs Educ . 2025;64(5):327–330.] |
