 2. EXPLORATORY PRACICE IN SEVEN PRINCIPLES

 Principle 1: put ‘quality of life’ first.

Principle 2: work primarily to understand language classroom life.

 NB: The above two principles can best be approached by integrating practitioners in the classroom (Principles 3, 4, and 5), by integrating the work for understanding into classroom practice (Principle 6), and by making joint and integrated work generate continuity (Principle 7).

 Principle 3: involve everybody.

Principle 4: work to bring people together.

Principle 5: work also for mutual development.

Principle 6: avoid “burn out” by integrating the work for understanding into classroom practice.

Principle 7: make the work a continuous - not a “projectised”- entrerprise.
