The major method of exloratory teaching is action research. Action research is a form of self-reflective inquiry carried out by practitioners, aimed at solving problems, improving practices and enhancing understanding of the problem (Nunan, D. 1993. Research Methods in Language Learning. CUP. P. 229). Action research is organized in the following steps: initiation, baseline studies, hypothesis, intervention and evaluation. Initiation is setting the problem for research, baseline is the studies into the existing situation and proving that the problem really exists, hypotheses is anticipating the solution, intervention is using the innovative experience, evaluation is the analysis of the results.These steps are shown in the chart
