Author Biography

Dick Allwright

Dick Allwright, one of the most influential applied linguists in the field, retired in 2003 from a long and brilliant academic career teaching applied linguistics at the universities of Essex and Lancaster. Professor Allwright is still pursuing his interest in teacher, and especially learner, development, via the notion of ‘Exploratory Practice’, a form of practitioner research involving teachers and learners working together, during language lessons, to explore and develop productively their understandings of their classroom lives.  In 2009, with Judith Hanks, he published his third book: The Developing Language Learner: An Introduction to Exploratory Practice (Palgrave).
