There are practical problems in college English teaching, such as the solidification of traditional monolingual models and insufficient language application abilities of students, which make it difficult to meet the needs of talent cultivation in the new era. Translanguaging, as a key theory in the field of multilingual education, focuses on flexibly integrating multilingual resources and highlighting the essence of language communication, providing a scientific direction for teaching reform. This article summarizes the core connotation and educational value of this concept, analyzes the current difficulties and adaptability of English teaching in universities, clarifies practical principles such as "learner led, scenario practical", explores specific paths such as teaching content reconstruction and classroom mode innovation, as well as guarantee mechanisms such as faculty and resources, aiming to provide practical and feasible references for improving the quality of English teaching in universities and cultivating students' comprehensive language abilities.
