To this end, 386 A1 and A2-level English learners, studying at a preparatory school of a university in Turkey, took part in the study. The quantitative data were derived through a 45-item survey. First, an exploratory factor analysis performed on the responses to the Translanguaging Practices Scale and two factors were obtained. Subsequently, the whole data were adapted and tested for measurement model validity and reliability. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) results, analyzed in Smart PLS (Version 3.2.9), revealed there was a statistically significant relationship between translanguaging practices, foreign language classroom anxiety, and reconceptualized L2 motivational self system. However, the relationship between translanguaging practices and English language achievement scores was not statistically significant.xii, 166 leaves : charts (color) ; 30 cm.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTranslanguaging practicesForeign language classroom anxietyReconceptualized L2 motivational self systemThesisB160311
