Motivated by the various accounts given by teacher Walewska Braga and her students in the meetings of the Exploratory Practice group, I decided to deepen my understanding about the main ideas of Exploratory Practice (Allwright and Hanks, 2009) and about how this teacher manages to use its Principles and Propositions as guidance for her personal professional life. For that purpose, two meetings were held: first an interview, transcribed and read by both participants, and afterwards a conversation about the previous interview, which was also transcribed. The author of this dissertation participated in classes given by the teacher, wrote a journal of these classes, and exchanged e-mails with the teacher during this period. The micro analysis of the selected passages of the interview was done based on (a) the turn-taking model proposed by Sacks, Schegloff e Jefferson (1974), (b) the concept of cooperative overlap (Tannen, 2010), and (c) the analysis of narrative as involvement strategies (Tannen, 1984); and was complemented with my reflection over excerpts selected from the e-mails and the journal. The focus of the analysis was my process of gradual understanding and growing conviction about the viability of the Exploratory Practice, which is a teaching-learning philosophy that aims to stimulate critical-reflexive participation by integrating questioning and pedagogic work, through Potentially Exploitable Pedagogical Activities (PEPAs). In this process, Exploratory Practice integrates people in this work and in the creation of opportunities to reflect about the relationships between teacher and students as co-practitioners. With Exploratory Practice, teachers and students are expected to become increasingly more independent and reflexive, as they continue to develop linguistically, through actions that prompt critical thinking, while enabling the teacher to carry out the curriculum designed by the school or the government. Through an analytical reflection about the identities projected by Walewska Braga, together with the dynamics of turn-taking, cooperative overlap and the analysis of narratives as involvement strategies, together with the Principles and Propositions of the Exploratory Practice, I looked for a better comprehension of Walewska’s exploratory classroom, and how she incorporated Exploratory Practice in all aspects of her life in and outside school. My search for a better understanding of Exploratory Practice as a way of dealing with life, as a philosophy of life, resulted in this paper, which also turned out to be a Potentially Exploitable Pedagogical Activity.
