dc.description.abstract“One of the problems EFL high school teachers face with multi-level groups is that students with higher levels of English feel discouraged to be in the classroom. These students lose interest when their level of proficiency is higher than their classmates’. An effective plan to ease this problem was to select some students with the highest level of proficiency to become peer-mentors while leading collaborative work. The purpose of the study was twofold. First, it aimed to identify high school students’ beliefs about peer mentors leading collaborative work, and second, it intended to categorize the participants’ beliefs about the qualities that a good mentor needs to lead collaborative work effectively in the research site. This research provides useful advice for high school English teachers when dealing with multi-level groups. It was designed to benefit teachers since peer-mentors led teams collaboratively to achieve the class objectives. Furthermore, students with higher levels of proficiency benefited when using the English language and learning skills needed for collaborative work. A cyclical action research model was used as a result of reflective practice. The participants were 60 high school students from which 15 students were chosen as peer-mentors to lead collaborative work. Findings revealed that a planned process had to be followed in order to achieve the objectives”es_MX
