The Routledge Handbook of Language Teacher Action Research is an authoritative and innovative treatment of language teacher action research (LTAR) as a growing research field.
Edited by two global thought leaders in LTAR, it features 34 original thematic contributions from a global range of experts at the cutting edge of the field, providing a comprehensive survey not found in any other single publication. Initiatives across the world are demonstrating the value of LTAR, which has been shown to provide language teachers with strong, exciting, and influential opportunities for learning, and gaining a feeling of empowerment. This groundbreaking Handbook theorises these premises from multiple perspectives in specific areas of language teacher education and curates a broad range of original content that integrates the practical and theoretical knowledge that has emerged over the years since LTAR began to develop.
This volume is a groundbreaking guide for researchersof language teaching, as well as practitioners and educators that want to harness the potential of LTAR in both theory and practice.

Rezensionen
"This outstanding anthology presents a multidimensional overview of approaches to action research. Drawing on research and practice in many different contexts the collection redefines the nature, scope and impact of action research and highlights the contribution it can make to teacher and institutional development and to student learning."
Jack C Richards, University of Sydney, Australia
"This landmark handbook provides a thorough treatment of language teacher action research, showcasing its profound impact on teachers' professional practice and development. Unparalleled in comprehensiveness, this volume is a seminal publication that advances our understanding of action research in language education. It provides an indispensable resource for practitioners, researchers, and teacher educators."
Icy Lee, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
"This Handbook marks an important milestone in our understanding of action research in the field of second-foreign language teaching. The 32 chapters detail a trajectory from early perceptions that often marginalized the work as 'teachers fixing their teaching', to our present understanding of the methodology as part of a heuristic paradigm (Freeman & Cameratti 2019) which repositions teachers to generate unique knowledge about their work. The editors have done an excellent job of laying out the different spheres of impact of language teacher action research-professional, pedagogical, personal, and educational- in a volume that establishes its variety and breadth of productive benefits to the research, policy, and practitioner communities."
