This book advances the theory of action research, analyzing how it can be used to develop autonomy among language teachers. Although acknowledging that the research process is not always linear, the authors proceed according to a clear progression which teachers can adapt to their needs. They provide examples, narratives, questions and tasks, and give multiple ideas for establishing research questions, choosing appropriate methodologies, adapting to existing contexts, and collecting data. They also suggest possible instruments, and give clear instructions for carrying out the most common kinds of statistical procedures, and ideas for presenting, discussing, and writing up research findings. In spite of its practical bias, the book is theoretically and ethically rigorous, and contains an extensive glossary for quick and easy reference. It will appeal to trainee teachers, in-service teachers wanting to expand their own professional horizons or working for a higher qualification, and is an invaluable reference for teacher-educators and scholars.

The Routledge Handbook of Language Teacher Action Research is an authoritative and innovative treatment of language teacher action research (LTAR) as a growing research field. Edited by two global thought leaders in LTAR, it features 34 original thematic contributions from a global range of experts at the cutting edge of the field, providing a comprehensive survey not found in any other single publication.

This groundbreaking Handbook theorises these premises from multiple perspectives in specific areas of language teacher education and curates a broad range of original content that integrates the practical and theoretical knowledge that has emerged over the years since LTAR began to develop. This volume is a groundbreaking guide for researchers of language teaching, as well as practitioners and educators that want to harness the potential of LTAR in both theory and practice.

This volume highlights unique features of L2 teachers’ motivation, autonomy and career development in Far East counties (including Japan, South Korea and China), using diverse methodological research approaches incorporating both quantitative and qualitative paradigms. While much of current research focuses on students’ psychology, this volume looks into EFL teachers’ motivation and autonomy. Both discussions of theoretical issues of teacher motivation and autonomy and practical, classroom-based investigations are included and written to appeal to researchers, as well as applied teacher audiences. The theoretical chapters give readers a solid grounding in the issues of interest to the field. The practical chapters offer cutting edge insights and can also serve as templates on which postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers can base future studies. This helps the book to offer a dual service to the research community, addressing both issues of theorization of research and the practice of conducting research investigations.

This handbook synthesizes accumulated research evidence about the main areas of language teacher education. It systematically applies research synthesis to the field, providing coherent, systematic insights into various aspects of language teacher education. Each chapter compares research conducted between 2010–2020 within a specialized area of teacher education. The chapters discuss the theoretical and research underpinnings of each area, describing the purposes, methods, and findings of the research, including the impacts of teacher education on teacher professional development and teaching effectiveness.The twenty-six chapters in this handbook address three main areas of teacher education: Teacher Variables, Teacher Professional Development, and Teacher Instructional Beliefs and Practices. Section One on teacher variables includes ten chapters focused on teacher reflective practice, identity, cognition, self-efficacy beliefs, emotion, motivation, demotivation and burnout, agency, autonomy, and nativeness/nonnativeness. Second Two includes five chapters on teacher professional development, namely good language teachers, preservice teacher mentoring, practicum in language teacher education, online language teacher education, and language teacher action research. Section Three consists of eleven chapters on teacher instructional beliefs and practices, which systematically review research on teacher beliefs and practices about English as an international language, teacher intercultural knowledge and beliefs, teacher curricular knowledge, TPACK of in-service teachers in language education, CLIL language teacher education, EMI language teacher education, heritage language teacher education, translanguaging in language teacher education, language teacher classroom discourse and interaction, language assessment literacy for teachers, and scaffolding and language teachers. This handbook is an invaluable resource for teacher educators, student/preservice teachers, inservice teachers, graduate students of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Applied Linguistics, and teacher education researchers.

This book aims to challenge established teaching cultures to promote teacher autonomy and autonomy-oriented pedagogies in language teacher education. Offering a set of inspiring case studies that illustrate language teacher education for autonomy as a space of multiple possibilities, the book fuses theory and practice and gives a holistic view of the changing landscape of language teacher education, accounting for the transformative power of educational practices that help teachers think and act in informed, context-specific, and learner-centred ways. It also demonstrates the importance of autonomy in language teacher education contexts, specifically to foster teachers’ professional learning, identity, and agency, as well as in assessing and reshaping teacher education programmes. This book will be particularly useful to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in the fields of teaching and teacher education, modern foreign languages, and teaching and learning language research more broadly. Curriculum designers and language teacher education programme directors may also find the volume of use.

This edited collection explores the use of Exploratory Practice (EP) by language teachers in classrooms. Written by practitioners, the chapters showcase unique examples of each principle of EP, with topics ranging from mentoring practitioner researchers, to teaching and learning in EAP, and investigating curriculum development in language teaching programs. The book provides example EP studies and gives voice to practitioners’ experiences of the challenges they experienced as well as the benefits. Examples include tackling intercultural communication in linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms; pedagogy and curriculum design in language teaching; explorations of continuing professional development in language education. In doing so, it offers tools that can be transferred to other classroom contexts and used to aid teacher development. The concluding chapter highlights critical aspects of Exploratory Practice which emerge in the studies and examines how practitioners advanced their understandings. This book will appeal to those working in Applied Linguistics, TESOL research, as well as language teachers and teacher educators.
