Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the latent structure underlying a translanguaging survey instrument, and to investigate whether the survey instrument has the same acceptability for bi/multilingual native English speakers and bi/multilingual non-native English speakers. Data included 181 surveys completed by graduate students. Data were analyzed by testing measurement invariance. Results validate a measurement model with 23 items underlying 4 latent factors for the survey instrument. Measurement invariance further indicates that both groups accept translanguaging as a medium of second language teaching and learning.
