Abstract:

How can teachers and teacher educators enact positive change in their
working environments? How can they develop professional learning
communities? How can they support educational policies on
intercultural competence, multilingualism and plurilingualism while
improving students' language skills? This inspiring collection gives
clear and practical advice on how action research can help achieve all
of those goals, from primary through secondary, higher and adult
education settings.
Action Research Communities for Language Teachers, funded by the
European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe,
collects practical first-hand accounts of action research projects,
with a shared focus on practical, replicable advice and achievable
results. Readers can use these examples to develop small,
evidence-based interventions that address their own common challenges
and concerns. Spanning fourteen European countries and a similar range
of taught languages, these real-life examples of shared
problem-solving and collaboration are a crucial contribution to the
theory and practice of language teaching and teacher education.
