Hammadou Sullivan, Series Editor "Research Informing
Practice-Practice Informing Research: Innovative Teaching
Methodologies for World Language Educators" is an edited volume
that focuses on innovative, nontraditional methods of teaching and
learning world languages. Using teacher-research projects, each
author in the volume guides readers through their own personal
journey and exploration of teaching methods, novelty, risk-taking,
and reflection. Chapters include guiding questions, vignettes, and
thick descriptions of classroom-based research in an assortment of
instructional settings. Theoretical issues and an array of
practical applications are presented, as well as additional
research opportunities and guidelines for implementation in a
variety of teaching and learning venues. While not professing to be
a panacea for world language learning, this book provides various
lines of theory, research, and practice as they interact with each
other through teacher-research narratives. As a well-known African
proverb asserts, "It takes a village to raise a child." Similarly,
it takes a village to develop a master teacher, and it takes a
community to create an exceptional classroom. Throughout this
volume, authors share their voices, experiences, and expertise as a
means of strengthening the village. They then invite readers to
embark on their own methodological journeys. The text thus serves
as a stimulus for further discussion and pedagogical development in
world language settings. Teachers and researchers are challenged to
think critically and reflectively about world language education,
encouraged to design innovative methods, approaches, and techniques
for their world language classes, and ultimately asked to share
their findings with students, parents, peers, communities, and the
village.
