Language Teacher as Researcher: the Why's and How's 
Han Sang Ho
Kyongju University, Korea
 

Two major developments in the field of ELT in recent years have been strengthening of a research orientation to language learning and teaching and a broadening of the research project to embrace the collaborative involvement of teachers themselves in language research. As a consequence, teacher as researcher movement is now alive and well and gathering strength in schools around the world.  It is therefore recommended  that, if teacher-researcher movemet is not to become another fad in ELT of today, then a significant number of teachers will need to be aware of the rationale behind the teacher as researcher movement. Dr. Han's presentation addresses this important issue for the language teachers
