Abstract
This study examines the roles of translanguaging and learner agency in developing intercultural competencies among Chinese undergraduate students studying Portuguese as an additional language. Using a qualitative case study of students’ performance in an intercultural studies course assessment, the research identifes how students strategically employ their multilingual repertoires to overcome linguistic challenges and demonstrate intercultural understanding. Findings highlight translanguaging as an essential strategy in promoting agency, confdence, and intercultural competence in multilingual academic environments.
