This experiential approach to mentoring offers a range of activities for exploring the roles and duties of mentors and for practising the skills required to support the development of learner-teachers.

This work offers an accessible introduction to action research for teachers, by encouraging them to adopt a research attitude to their practice and development. It aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and practical teacher training. The book contains a range of tasks that should be suitable for many different in-service teacher education and development programmes and the materials have been designed to help teachers develop their skills, knowledge and attitudes.

This book is aimed at all those responsible for advising teachers including teaching practice supervisors, mentors, INSET tutors, state education inspectors, directors of studies, and teachers working together as 'critical friends' in informal teacher development.

Tasks for teachers of English that help to develop language awareness and invite consideration of the pedagogical implications and classroom applications.
