INTRODUCING AND USING ACTION RESEARCH IN LANGUAGE CLASSES

As language teachers we all face problems in our classes and we apply different strategies to tackle them. These problems are sometimes solved but sometimes left aside. In tackling possible problems of language classes, the aim of this program is first to inform language teachers about a particular type of research, namely action research, and find practical ways of approaching the problems. These ways include brainstorming and working in collaboration with colleagues under the guidance of the academics. Hence, action research program is designed once a month as follows:

04.10.2022  Definition of action research, ways of implementing action research. Identifying problems, finding alternative solutions and techniques.

01.11.2022  Implementing strategies in classes, making observations and discussions.

06.12.2022   Analysing data and revising the possible solutions used to tackle problems by using action research.

03.01.2023  Reflecting on what has been done and reporting the results.
