Research Mentoring

TIRF’s Research Mentoring services are tailored for emerging scholars in the field of language education. This service involves pairing an individual researcher (i.e., the mentee) with an experienced TIRF mentor. The program aims at enhancing individuals’ and teams’ abilities to conduct empirical research. Mentees will target publishing their research as part of the mentoring outcomes.

Upon enrolling in TIRF’s Research Mentoring program, mentees will submit a needs assessment form, in order to provide background information to TIRF. Doing so helps to ensure TIRF appropriately matches one of its mentors to the mentee.

Before the one-to-one mentoring sessions commence, mentees will view the pre-recorded training modules and check their understanding of the information presented. At this stage, the mentee begins their research mentoring journey with their TIRF mentor.
