Abstract

This article focuses on the process of co-developing and co-teaching a course for adult refugees that combined English and audiovisual expression offered within the “Curing the Limbo” Project. The article highlights the challenges and stages the cooperation of two instructors from different academic fields went through as they struggled to find a mode of work that would benefit learners in expressing themselves using English and photography. The process, supported by an action research methodological paradigm, will be exemplified by an analysis of the weekly journal kept by the instructors throughout the duration of the course. Additional data on learners’ engagement were collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.
