Session Description:
This session focuses on school teachers' professional development through their role as English teaching practicum mentors in pre-service teacher education programmes. It aims to raise school teachers' awareness of the importance of their role in developing career-ready teachers and how to fulfill this role effectively. The session begins by examining the reality of practicum mentoring—specifically, school teachers' limited fulfillment of their roles—then analyzes how this situation occurs from a sociocultural perspective. Finally, it provides practical strategies for enhancing the quality of school teachers' engagement in teaching practicum mentoring and the benefits they derive from these experiences.
