This study focuses on mentoring. Mentoring is defined as a process which a mentor who is an experienced teacher supports a mentee who is a novice teacher to improve the mentee's teaching. In the mentoring, the mentor needs to consider the mentee's problems. However, the mentee cannot talk about his/her concerns due to imbalanced relationship between them. In this study, the mentor and the mentee conduct mentoring using the Listena. Using Listena, the mentee can leave some notes about their problems regarding students and classroom teaching before his/her each lesson so that the mentor can observe the lesson and they also have dialogues on the lesson with special focuses on the mentee's own problems. As a result, the Listena supports mentoring with special focuses on novice teacher's problems.
