“…However, because I quickly gained trust with students and teachers, the initial idea of a focus group turned into more personal, nuanced and descriptive group interviews. Although this type of methodological approach to collecting data was not new in the field of qualitative research (Bernal et al, 2017;Hamzeh et al, 2020;Huber, 2012), this specific mode of data collection resonates with decolonial forms of doing research (Denzin et al, 2008).

Qualitative research has utilised focus groups and interviews to gather information from participants while conducting ethnographic research. This article explores the potential of alternative forms of collecting data that are more in line with the participants’ feelings, emotions and expectations. Charlas (chats) and Comidas (meals) were utilised in an ethnographic study with English teachers and their students in marginalised high schools in Bogotá, Colombia. I found that opening a safe space for participants to share their ideas, suggestions and comments while chatting informally or having a meal encourages leadership of the research process. This generated a sentiment of trust and bond which strengthen their sense of belonging to their academic community. This article contributes to the literature on alternative, critical and decolonial forms of doing research by considering ways to implement methods that acknowledge the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the participants which strengthen humanising relationships, especially in marginalised contexts.
