This study examines the conditions for successful online mentoring in
order to develop writing skills in English in a workplace setting.
Chapter 1 gives the background and context of the study. Problems to be
addressed in the study and the aims, objectives, hypotheses and their
rationale are presented. This is followed by testing procedures, research
design, sources of data and research procedures.
In Chapter 2, the literature review supports the hypotheses on the need
for collaboration in materials development and delivery, mentoring
relationships, motivation and computer and Internet efficacy.
Chapter 3 presents the findings from the case study bringing into focus
problems that would jeopardise a mentoring programme if training
providers do not pay attention to the hypotheses. The findings are
collated and the hypotheses are confirmed.
Conditions for successful online mentoring are spelt out in Chapter 4.
The study concludes that online mentoring works once the conditions are
properly followed. / English Studies / M.A. (TESOL)
