The Routledge Handbook of Language Teacher Action Research

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. Initiatives across the world are demonstrating the value of LTAR, which has been shown to provide language teachers with strong, exciting, and influential opportunities for learning, and gaining a feeling of empowerment. 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.
