Abstract

The use of photo-elicitation is especially useful to support communication in English language learner (ELL) contexts. This ongoing study involves using photography as both course content and as research tool. Participants create and discuss images, which serve as a springboard for group discussions and interview data. This presentation will describe the role of photo-elicitation in oral communication between ELL participants as they share abstract ideas about immigration and language learning.
