How Useful is Research for the Classroom Teacher?

  • Summary

  • In this episode we are talking about the relationship between those who do the research on teaching and learning language and those who teach in the classroom. [sign up for Talking Points]

    • What can teachers take from research findings and use in their classroom?
    • What if the students in front of us are different (almost always the case) from those used in the study?
    • What can researchers do to make their findings and recommendations useful for classroom teachers?

    There are some ways to connect the dots and there are certainly some things that we can all agree on. We'll discuss what these agreements are and how we can make the teacher-researcher relationship useful for all involved.
