Preparing English language teachers should involve more than providing techniques, recipes, and tips.Classroom Action Research (CAR) is useful not only in preparing future teachers but for all teachers to continue togrow and develop as reflective practitioners. This article presents an overview of the components of classroomaction research (selecting an issue, refining the research question, and undertaking data collection, analyzingmultiple forms of data, developing and implementing new instructional strategies, and making the research findingspublic). An example of an action research project on giving feedback on student writing is used to illuminate thesesteps.
