|

Abstract:
This book provides a detailed account of Exploratory Practice (EP) as a tool for the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) of language teachers. It fosters the development of professional knowledge and skills through a focus on understanding classrooms, and on the implementation of practitioner research. These processes include students. We document a unique two-year longitudinal study that critically examined the implementation of EP by teachers of English and modern foreign languages. Through their case studies, the teachers provide a critical account of EP as a form of practitioner research that bridges the divide between theory and practice. The results emphasize the centrality of teacher learning in language education curriculum improvement, and of active involvement of students in the exploratory practice and practitioner research. This book will be of interest to language education professionals seeking enhanced teacher learning and more effective classrooms, and to scholars working in Applied Linguistics and Language Education.
