In this article, we make a case for incorporating translanguaging pedagogy into the framework of Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP). Drawing on data from a one‐year ethnographic study of an adult ESL program, we show how teachers believed in and attempted to create spaces for translanguaging and CSP but in practice fell short. We conclude that translanguaging is most powerful when understood as a component of CSP but call for more research in this area.
