Abstract

Rhizomatic Learning (RL) is a concept with great potential for educational research and innovating pedagogy. However, it appears that this potential has not been fully exploited in educational research yet. In language teacher professional development, this chapter provides an overview of current research that has employed the concept of RL, comparing different approaches to integrating RL in the research design. The chapter then outlines the methodological opportunities and challenges of applying the concept of RL against the background of an investigation into language teachers’ Twitter-based professional development. The final part of the chapter provides recommendations for future research. It argues that multiple interpretations of RL could help make the concept more approachable and available to researchers, enabling different insights and more varied research in teacher professional development and beyond.
