SUMMARY:Empowering students to be mentors in Personalised English Language Enhancement (PELE) course
DESCRIPTION:Mr Bosheng Jing1\n1UNSW, Sydney, Australia\nIn Australian Higher education, multilingual sojourners face significant challenges brought by English language. In order to alleviate such challenges, UNSW offers a course called PELE, which is designed on the basis of Personalised Autonomous (PA) model (Kim, 2014), of which pedagogical efficacy has been demonstrated (Kim and Jing, 2019). In PELE, students are guided to identify their specific, immediate challenge within context and address it by carrying out a personal project. Those who complete the course with high (Distinction) academic record are invited to join PELE mentoring program after the course, where they can continue to enhance English skills by playing various leadership roles, such as leading PELE social clubs and facilitating PELE teaching activities. Mentors report their weekly learning outcomes in a personal journal. The study sets to explore the impact of PELE mentoring program on mentors’ motivation on their continuous English language competence enhancement, through taking a close look at their strategies used in PELE community building, motivating mentees and facilitating teachers’ teaching activities. This paper will present major findings from an in-depth qualitative analysis of mentors’ weekly journals that are collected from 2016 to 2019. The study aims to provide practical implications for empowering and motivating students to utilise their autonomies in self-direct learning in the whole higher education sector.\n\nBiography:\nBosheng Jing is a Scientia Ph.D. scholar from The University of New South Wales, Sydney.
