Abstract

The teachers, in their beginning stages of learning, about teaching strategies and meeting students’ learning needs, require more practical ideas on how to choose and behave effectively to be a successful teacher. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mentoring, as a tool for aiding teachers’ development, and teacher’s portfolio assessment of the teaching skills of Iranian ELT teachers. Classroom observation via a checklist as well as an interview was used to examine the effectiveness of mentoring in Iranian ELT context. The findings indicated the effectiveness of mentoring in the teaching skills of teachers as well as some of its shortcomings.
