Abstract: 
This paper examines the intersection of case study and ethnographic research methodologies within the field of Applied Linguistics, focusing specifically on the investigation of translanguaging practices in academic writing. The paper explores the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of these qualitative research methods, highlighting their key characteristics, benefits, and challenges. By reviewing exemplary studies, the paper aims to demonstrate the strengths and complexities of these methodologies in understanding the diverse language practices of multilingual learners in educational settings. It concludes by reflecting on the potential of these research approaches to inform the development of inclusive and effective teaching practices for diverse student populations in a globalized world.
