There has been some recent interest in research evidence in ELT. This has mostly focused on debunking popular approaches: what doesn't work. In this presentation, I will draw on four of the most widely quoted meta-analyses (studies that bring together many research projects) in general educational research to identify things that might work in ELT classrooms. The personal list I will present includes some surprising (and unfashionable) approaches. I will conclude by analysing meta-analyses themselves and consider the extent to which language teaching can actually be evidence-based.
