In this chapter, we discuss language choices made in a study conducted at The University of the South Pacific, a regional institution located across twelve highly multilingual countries, at which English is the lingua franca and principal medium of instruction. English is also typically left unquestioned as the norm for research and scholarship by staff and students, particularly in studies about our own students’ learning experiences within our institution. We discuss strategies that we used to incorporate our participants’ perspectives about one of our own courses, setting out to use English as little as possible, wanting both to hear from participants in their dominant languages and to challenge the assumption that English is the default language of research.
