We document and reflect on the use of 'ethnographic monitoring' (Hymes, Dell. 1980a. "Ethnographic Monitoring." In Language in Education: Ethnolinguistic Essays, edited by Dell Hymes. Washington, DC: Centre for Applied Linguistics) and its deployment for democratisation and social impact within our project Unlock. In Unlock we study the literacy and language learning trajectories of adult Dutch-as-L2 learners in and outside school. The 'monitoring' is a collaborative process of researching, co-creating and implementing learning practices together with practitioners and learners. We describe how we situated these practices within an 'empowering academic collaborative centre' as a platform for sharing experiences and emerging knowledges amongst academic and non-academic experts.
