“…Finland examining expectations about collaboration. Webb and Sarina (2018) used EP as a springboard into international collaboration (between EAP students in Australia and Northern Cyprus) with UG students fostering democratic competencies. These practitioners used EP as a way of developing understandings of EAP pedagogy as they wrote up their studies and adapted their teaching appropriately.…”

“…Although rooted in the problem-based paradigm, Putting greater emphasis on actively engaging students with research suitably adapted to recognize the variation and complexity of constructing knowledge in different disciplines, is one way of re-linking them in the twenty-first century. (Healey 2005: 73-74) Initial work to tease out the connections with Healey's notion of inquiry-based learning can be seen in Webb & Sarina (2018) who used EP as part of their inquirybased learning with UG students in Australia and Northern Cyprus. Gunn has initiated similar work in the UAE (Gunn 2009a;Al Nashash & Gunn 2016;Gouia & Gunn 2016).…”

Practitioner research is a flourishing area with a significant body of theoretical and empirical research, but often researchers remain isolated, unaware of impactful work by colleagues in related fields. Exploratory Practice (EP) is one innovative form, uniting creative pedagogy and research methods. The potential contributions have hitherto been neglected. EP's emphasis on puzzling and understanding is a means of demystifying occluded practices which place learners, teachers and researchers as co-investigators at the heart of the research-practice nexus. EP's radical positioning of learners as co-researchers, alongside teachers, teacher educators and others, means crossing boundaries – (re-)negotiating identities, in language learning/teaching/researching – thus raising epistemological challenges for the field. The contribution of this state-of-the-art article is to provide a meta-analysis of these themes and challenges, critically analysing the complexities involved as the paradigms of research, practice and practitioner research shift from research-as-practice towards practice-as-research.

Over the past two decades, ‘inclusivity’ has become a key issue in research in applied linguistics and language education. However, the inclusion of teachers, teacher educators, and learners as researchers with key insights into their contexts has not yet been fully examined. This thought-piece explores developments in inclusive practitioner research, specifically focusing on exploratory practice (EP). The article probes the notion of inclusivity, asking why inclusivity matters and what does it mean for practitioner researchers. It sheds new light on inclusivity in exploratory practice, amplifying and deepening understandings, and shifting perceptions of what it means to be inclusive, as it examines the contributions practitioners make to debates about/around social justice.
