classroom-based research (e.g., Action Research, Exploratory Practice) means doing research on, about, for and with people, and this kind of research is ‘messy’ (McKinley, 2019). This is because people’s lives are complex, rich, and unpredictable, and investigating
people entails dealing with their ‘life capital’ (Consoli, 2021). Crucially, this type of research leads to the researcher’s life and identity (or identities) becoming interwoven with the lives of their participants, thereby pointing to the need to revisit
the researcher’s ‘role, relationship and ethical responsibilities’ (Kubanyiova, 2008). These last three concepts are at the heart of this talk. Drawing upon a project which combined the methodological traditions of Exploratory Practice and Narrative Inquiry,
I will share critical incidents of my story as a teacher researching my own students during a pre-sessional course in the UK and, after the end of this programme, in a more traditional researcher capacity. The overarching aim of the study was to understand
these students’ motivation(s) to study at a UK university. Coming from what they defined as ‘a formal and serious’ educational context in China, these students found themselves being taught by a ‘friendly’ teacher in the UK. This may have positively influenced
their motivation; however, through ethical, reflexive and reflective considerations, I will discuss several tensions, challenges and compromises which raise the question of what risks a teacher(-researcher), investigating their own students, can take in order
to obtain ‘good’ research data.</span></span></p>

Consoli is (Research) Assistant Professor in the Department of English at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). He obtained his ESRC-funded PhD from the University of Warwick where he investigated the motivational psychology of Chinese students in
the UK higher education system. Before joining PolyU, Sal taught and researched Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Warwick and Newcastle University. His research focuses on the psychology of language learning and teaching with specific emphasis
on student learning motivation and learner engagement as well as language teacher well-being. He also has an active interest in research ethics and reflexivity in applied linguistics. His inquiry has been largely influenced by the epistemological and methodological
traditions of narrative approaches and practitioner research. Recently, Sal has developed the concept of ‘life capital’ which offers a heuristic to account for language learners’ and teachers’ life stories and understand how these interact with learning and
teaching experiences. Sal serves on the Executive Committee of the British Association of Applied Linguistics (BAAL).</span></div>
