Transnational youth use digital media to affiliate with diverse cultural and linguistic practices, as demonstrated through the use of multiple languages and hybrid linguistic codes, media genres and multimodal expressions in the youths' online communication and writing (Black, 2009; Domingo, 2014; Kim, 2016). This study introduces a learning activity, the multimodal writing design "Movable Type." With "Movable Type," we investigate how multi-lingual college students use different languages in their composition in the context of 7-week creative writing curriculum, to construct multilingual narratives. The workshop was a constructionist learning activity. We find youth engage with the tool to communicate across multiple audiences.
