Supporting and Empowering Language Teachers through Action Research Communities
Gallagher-Brett, Angela
Research-publishing.net
This chapter will introduce Action Research Communities for Language Teachers (ARC), a project funded by the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) of the Council of Europe (2015-2018). The project aims to make action research techniques widely available to language teachers across Europe and to provide them with development opportunities which support them in conducting action research. The chapter provides an overview of the project and the training and development events organised, and highlights examples of action research projects undertaken by participating practitioners in schools and universities. It concludes with details of challenges and successes experienced by participants, and considerations of future steps.
