Title: Electronic Book: ELT Research in Action: Bridging the Gap between Research and Classroom Practice
Body:
From http://resig.weebly.com/elt-research-in-action.html
ELT Research in Action: Bridging the Gap between Research and Classroom Practice
Edited by Jessica Mackay, Marilisa Birello and Daniel Xerri
Published by IATEFL
This book is the result of the first ELT Research in Action (ELTRIA) conference held at the EIM, University of Barcelona on April 21-22, 2017. In the process of planning and holding the ELTRIA conference, it emerged that there were three main organizing principles that motivated speakers to present: the desire to spark (or continue) debate and encourage new ways of thinking about a topic; the discussion of the relevance of theory when translated into ELT practice; and the presentation of research which has emerged from practical issues or dilemmas in the classroom. Accordingly, the book has been organized into three sections: Bridging the gap: Reflection and debate on the issues that unite and
divide research and practice in ELT; Research into practice: Relating, testing and applying theories in classroom settings; and Practice into research: Exploring practical issues and questions in the classroom.
