Continuing professional development as it is pursued through the interacting
paradigms of reflective practice and action research can be facilitated through the
disciplined use of non-judgemental discourse. A framework for such purposeful
interaction, cooperative development, has been established for face-to-face
use among TESOL professionals for some time. It has now been extended into
computer-mediated communication via the use of e-mails and instant-messenger. An
example of each is analysed, highlighting the continuing importance of affective
considerations in both the personal and pedagogic aspects of a teacher’s
continuing development.
