Abstract

<p>This study aimed at examining the awareness of mentor teachers, before and after supervisory experiences of their mentees' teaching portfolios. In the context of the supporting teachers' reflection on their teaching, two trials were conducted. The trials showed the following three points: (1) mentor teachers could understand the mentees' actual expertise based on mentees' educational philosophy by carefully reviewing the mentees' teaching portfolios; (2) novice mentors could determine various career paths as a Japanese language teacher and focus on their own career decisions by reviewing their mentees' personal history; and (3) mentees could plan research and projects effectively for their educational improvement by defining short- and long-term objectives.</p>
