Following a well-attended online meeting of the BALEAP Teacher Education in EAP SIG, I expressed critical interest in Exploratory Practice (Allwright & Hanks, 2009; Hanks, 2017a), and asked in this post: ‘but is it research?’. Judith Hanks sent me the following response, which I’m posting here in a spirit of critical knowledge sharing. I acknowledge that my understanding of Exploratory Practice was at best rudimentary and am grateful to Judith for this detailed response.
