Abstract

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. Anna Costantino draws on recent editorial experience for an applied linguistics journal devoted to practitioner-driven research. They describe how classroom inquiry and dissemination efforts allow language teachers to integrate multiple perspectives (learner, teacher, and materials developer) and build the teaching artistry necessary to navigate complex educational environments.
