ACTION RESEARCH KENAN DIKILITAŞ AND CAROL GRIFFITHS
Developing Language Teacher Autonomy through Action Research “Helping teachers engage autonomously in action research is a very worthwhile enterprise. Beneficiaries are likely to include learners, schools and their cultures, as well as the teachers themselves. Getting started is not always easy, though, and, with valuable examples, this volume takes teachers new to action research through crucial steps.” —Mark Wyatt, Senior Lecturer, University of Portsmouth, UK “For many practitioners Action Research remains at the conceptual level; they want to be involved, yet are not sure of how to implement it in their own setting. This book is of great value to practitioners eager to be involved in action research. Each step is illustrated with examples from real studies, from the very first steps finding a question to the start of the next research cycle. This teacher-friendly guide is sure to be an important source for any teacher, new or experienced, who is interested in professional development.” —Derin Atay, Professor, Bahçeşehir University, Turkey
