PhotoVoice is a qualitative, participatory, community-based needs assessment method used in the social sciences. PhotoVoice can also be used in educational research as a tool for learning and language needs assessment and analysis. Such analysis would lead to setting up learning goals or describing issues that can be the subject of further activities, such as improving learning conditions, teaching methods or the curriculum. PhotoVoice is an exploratory research method. This article describes a pilot project inspired by the PhotoVoice method that was conducted at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw among first year students attending classes of academic Polish for foreigners.
