This study investigates the impact of pedagogical translanguaging on the development of early literacy skills among kindergarteners learning English as a foreign language in immersion preschools. Despite the growing body of literature on foreign language acquisition, there remains a significant gap in understanding how pedagogical translanguaging specifically influences early literacy skills in structured classroom environments. To address this gap, the current research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from standardized proficiency tests with qualitative insights derived from semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. The participant pool consisted of 120 undergraduate students enrolled in intermediate-level language courses over a 16-week academic semester. The experimental group (n=60) received targeted interventions utilizing pedagogical translanguaging, while the control group (n=60) followed the traditional curriculum. Statistical analyses, including independent t-tests and ANOVA, revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group's early literacy skills compared to the control group (p < .05). Furthermore, thematic analysis of the interview transcripts indicated that participants in the experimental cohort experienced reduced communicative anxiety, higher levels of intrinsic motivation, and a more profound engagement with the target culture. The findings suggest that integrating pedagogical translanguaging into pedagogical frameworks not only accelerates linguistic competence but also fosters a more supportive and dynamic learning ecosystem. This paper concludes by offering practical recommendations for language educators and curriculum developers, advocating for a paradigm shift towards more inclusive and adaptable teaching methodologies. Future research directions are also discussed, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies to assess the long-term retention of these acquired skills across diverse demographic profiles.
