Abstract

Kanda University of International Studies (KUIS) and Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University (AYBU) are collaborating on a learning advisory education program consisting of the modules of Getting Started, Going Deeper, Becoming Aware and Transformation. This training has been made possible with support from the 3934 BAP (Scientific Research Fund) at AYBU. The first module was taken by the participants face-to-face at KUIS and the second was completed with live online lectures or recorded sessions, set readings, practice tasks and online forum discussions. The aim of this document is to provide an account of the transformation process of instructors of English. The authors have focused on reviewing and reflecting on their recorded advising sessions, tools for advising, intentional reflective dialogue (IRD), dealing with emotions, giving positive feedback and researching advising in Module 2.
