In the example opposite, you can see how a process can presented in an arts-based format. It is also possible to use arts-based approaches as a way to gather people’s perceptions about values and ideas.


In the photos below, you can see some examples of a participatory ESOL research task carried out by Claire Collins as part of a small-scale research report. Claire asked ESOL learners, living in Manchester to say which languages and language varieties had more or less ‘power’ than others. The size of the chapati diagram they used illustrated the degree of power they felt the language/ language variety had. (This is an approach taken from the Reflect ESOL resource pack, produced by Action Aid).
