dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the reaction of the mentors and mentees in a rural primary school in Perak. The Native Speaker Programme was implemented in selected primary schools in Malaysia from 2011 to 2013. The mentors are the foreign English language teachers who are placed in the local primary schools to assist in building the capacity of the local Malaysian English teachers (mentees). The principal objective of this phenomenological study is to investigate the reaction of the mentors and mentees in the Native Speaker Programme implemented in a rural primary school in Perak in terms of the programme objectives, time frame, motivation of the mentors and mentees and the cooperation given throughout the programme. Three mentors and two mentees were interviewed to obtain their responses regarding the four areas stated above. They were also observed as they engaged in classroom teachings and workshops, and then interviewed for their feedback. The findings indicate that effective communication is important to convey the essential information in order to achieve the programme objectives. In terms of time frame, the findings show that the mentors agreed that the number of mentoring hours is achievable; however the amount of workload shouldered by the mentees hindered them from achieving the targeted hours. The findings also reveal that a well-established mentoring relationship is vital in ensuring that that the mentors and mentees can work together and to be able to share their experiences with others.en_US
