This new book, Complexity Perspectives on Researching Language Learner and Teacher Psychology, published by Multilingual Matters includes a chapter by our Dr Sal Consoli sharing the experience of investigating second language (L2) motivation from an ecological perspective through exploratory practice (EP), a form of practitioner research.
Dr Consoli explains the term ecological with reference to EP and gives a detailed illustration of how this methodological approach worked in practice. Recommendations for teachers, researchers, or teacher-researchers are also given.
