Do understandings of classroom practice change (ergative sense) or does somebody change them (transitive sense) when applied linguistic perspectives meet practitioner perspectives in language teaching? This article starts out as a selective review of the often complex and problematic relationship between applied linguistic thinking and language teaching experience, and develops into a position paper on the place of applied research and reflective practice in a journal such as e-FLT. My discussion gives attention to both aspects of this journal’s title, namely the electronic medium of communication and the teaching of foreign languages. Essentially, I attempt to renew and promote arguments against externally driven interventionist approaches, and in favour of more sustained interactive and reflective approaches towards understanding events and practices in FLT classrooms, including virtual ones. Closing comments briefly review some implications for teaching and learning investigations and conceptions of change management in education.
