Synopsis

Africa is replete with examples of short term donor funded programmes. They are easily set up; are frequently reviewed, and once they reach their life cycle, they fold up. ‘Success’ of such programmes is couched in terms that ordinary people least understand. To dig out success factors this book reports on a programme that was well intended but failed to live up to expectation.A fairly complex body of literature from the world is marshalled to undergird the case study. Specifically,the book addresses four factors influencing e-learning and mentoring programmes in Workplace English scenarios as follows: 1. The degree of familiarity with all aspects of the programme shared by material writers, tutors,mentors and assessors 2.The quality of the relationship established between mentor and learner 3.The degree of motivation the learner feels both before and during mentoring 4.The participants’ computer efficacy. If there is any lesson to be learnt from this book, such a lesson will be useful to Workplace English learners, teachers, mentors, e- learning material designers, project experts, universities,governments, aid organizations and NGOs in Africa and the world.
