About this title

Synopsis

This hands-on, practical guide for ESL/EFL teachers and teacher educators outlines, for those who are new to doing action research, what it is and how it works. Straightforward and reader friendly, it introduces the concepts and offers a step-by-step guide to going through an action research process, including illustrations drawn widely from international contexts. Specifically, the text addresses:

action research and how it differs from other forms of research

the steps involved in developing an action research project

ways of developing a research focus

methods of data collection

approaches to data analysis

making sense of action research for further classroom action.

Each chapter includes a variety of pedagogical activities:

Pre-Reading questions ask readers to consider what they already know about the topic
Reflection Points invite readers to think about/discuss what they have read
action points ask readers to carry out action-research tasks based on what they have read
Classroom Voices illustrate aspects of action research from teachers internationally
Summary Points provide a synopsis of the main points in the chapter

Bringing the 'how-to' and the 'what' together, Doing Action Research in English Language Teaching is the perfect text for BATESOL and MATESOL courses in which action research is the focus or a required component.
