Abstract

This paper begins by summarizing early research in foreign language classrooms, where researchers tended to focus on the teacher, ignoring the role of the learner in the language classroom. The paper moves on to a discussion of the various roles that teachers and learners can play in a classroom as a way of providing teachers with a framework for investigating their own classrooms. The paper concludes with an argument that what is needed today is teacher based research in which classroom teachers themselves investigate, on an ongoing basis, their own classrooms.
