Exploratory Practice for Continuing Professional Development “This important and thoughtful book identifies Exploratory Practice as a key means for language teachers’ Continuing Professional Development in a world of methodological challenges and puzzles. Contributions that give voice to teachers and, importantly, learners exemplify how EP can provide practitioners, and indeed all those involved in language teaching, a sustainable and collegiate route to understanding more clearly what happens in our classrooms, and develop our classroom pedagogy accordingly.” —Associate Professor Graham Hall, University of Northumbria, UK “This volume makes an important contribution to our knowledge about how teachers can combine research and practice in addressing classroom issues. Case studies show in detail how individual teachers employ diverse methods to understand their students and ‘transform their classrooms’, and provide us with rich insider accounts of teacher learning.” —Professor Adrian Holliday, University of Canterbury, UK “This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to Exploratory Practice, as a viable approach to continuing professional development for language teachers. The case studies provide very useful contemporary examples of professionals’ classroom research, in higher education settings, showing how the investigation of teachers’ ‘puzzles’ can build stronger language learning communities.” —Professor Rosamond Mitchell, University of Southampton, UK
