Abstract
This study explores the mentoring role of senior colleagues in
the professional socialization process of beginning English
teachers. The study has employed the survey method for
generating the required data from a randomly chosen stratified
sample from the colleges located in the Punjab province and the
capital city Islamabad, Pakistan. A valid questionnaire
measuring the constructs under investigation was used for data
collection, the results of which were then statistically evaluated
using both descriptive and inferential analysis techniques. It
was found that senior colleagues had an effective mentoring
role in the successful professional socialization of beginning
English teachers. However, the study results also highlighted
some issues related to workgroup relationship of senior
colleagues and principals. The study would help the beginning
teachers to understand better and thus strengthen their working
relationships with their senior colleagues. This would ultimately
lead towards a successful teaching career
