Theorizing Practice, Practicing Theory: 12th International Language Teacher Education Conference

Symposium (2 hours)

This symposium explores tensions between practitioner research’s commitment to developing localized understanding and its contributions to broader theory development in language education. Panelists representing different practitioner perspectives (teachers, curriculum designers, teacher educators, and journal editors) discuss affordances and constraints in conducting, disseminating, and sustaining practitioner research in culturally responsive ways.
