This book investigates a number of case studies of language mentoring in action with a view to prompting readers to reflect upon their own practice as teacher educators. Recent research on mentoring, teacher effectiveness, language teaching and language teacher education is combined to provide a background to the case studies, helping to illuminate general principles and issues.
Carol Gray joined the University of Birmingham in 1993 after 12 years of teaching languages in comprehensive, independent and special schools. Her development from classroom practitioner to lecturer in education thus parallels the growth of partnership and of mentoring. Alongside her PGCE work she teaches on Masters level modules in MFL Curriculum Development and in Mentoring.
