		Nunan (2007) identifies seven steps involved in action research and argues that one of the advantages of an investigation of this sort is that it can easily be replicated by other teachers. One of these steps is called ''INTERVENTION', which can be described as:
	
	
	
	
	
	After some weeks, the class is observed/recorded again
	
	
	After reviewing the initial data, it¿s time to formulate a hypothesis
	
	
	Data collection (observation/recording classroom interaction)
	
	
	Teacher investigates other methods for solving the same problem
	
	 
	Teacher devises strategies to solve the problem

		READ the text below:
As teachers, we invariably face problems in our professional careers and we must find ways of turning them into positive experiences. One method of doing this is through _______________. This method can be used in different settings and for a number of reasons. In fact, it is appropriate whenever specific knowledge is required for a specific problem in a specific situation. In other words, as long as there is a problem involving people, tasks and procedures or whenever some change is required, this method can provide useful outcomes.

		Language classrooms are the places where teaching and learning take place. Therefore, it is reasonable enough to collect data about what goes on there as a means of getting a better understanding on language learning and use. This can be done through classroom observation. __________________provides the practitioner with valuable information that could not possibly be obtained in other ways.
