Exploratory Practice in Language Teaching by Judith Hanks

This book tracks the development of Exploratory Practice since the early 1990s as an original form of practitioner research in the field of English language teaching.
“This book offers an in-depth history of the development of EP, as well as a detailed history of the underpinning philosophy of the practitioner research family more generally, from Dewey to FreireIt is accessible and clear, with many quote boxes, vignettes and worksheets.” (Richard S. Pinner, Educational Action Research, December 20, 2019)
“With its accessible prose style, illustrative vignettes, case studies and quotes, and useful suggestions for further reading, this book is a truly valuable resource for all practitioners who wish to engage with EP at any level.” (Sal Consoli, System, Vol. 72, February, 2018)
