Abstract

Arguing that action research is an appropriate methodological framework in integration projects owing to the unpredictable challenges associated with the particular group of learners, this article focuses on the process of designing, implementing, evaluating, and redesigning a Greek and English language program for the purposes of the “Curing the Limbo” project. It highlights crucial decisions that were made and tested with the involvement of relevant stakeholders in order to respond to the imminent communicative needs of adult refugees, leading to the goal of inclusive integration. The article also addresses the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
