Abstract:
As initial training of EFL teachers in Jordan becomes increasingly school-based, developing a model for the effective mentor is fast becoming a pivotal one in teacher education. The study explored the way in which the training programme is viewed by the mentors in terms of attitudes and pedagogical instruction practised during training with respect to lesson planning, lesson presentation and using teaching methods effectively. The study, also, conducted limited fieldwork in England where it investigated the mentoring process, the training of mentors and the teaching of foreign languages in ord

One of the challenges facing universities in Thailand is that of equipping graduates with the capacity for independent analytical thinking and learning which will enable them to operate in a global context while also contributing constructively to the changing needs of the local scene. The ability to think analytically and to learn independently calls for learners to be purposeful, strategic, and persistent in learning as well as to have more adaptive cognitive processes and the willingness to take charge of their learning. This is the role of metacognition in learning autonomy across domains.
