چکیده

The researchers in the current study mainly strived to explore the areas of school university partnerships in Iranian EFL context. In so doing, a total of 150 English language professors and school teachers from a number of schools and universities across Urmia and Sardasht were selected as participants of the study. The study sample was quite varied in terms of teaching experience and included both novice and senior male and female teachers. To gather the data, an adapted version of the questionnaire devised by Bullough Jr, Draperb, Smith and Birrell (2004) was utilized. Furthermore, to consolidate the findings, a semi-structured interview was also conducted. Analyzing the questionnaire data and going through the transcribed and coded interview responses, the researchers found that schools and universities can have partnerships in six main areas of 1) doing action research and having journal, 2) participating at seminars and conferences, 3) Making tests and developing curricula, 4) Doing group work activities with the aim of sharing knowledge and experience, 5) Mentoring and observing each other’s classes, and 6) holding workshops and some teacher training Courses. The results are thought to have some fruitful implications for all stakeholders in education which are discussed throughout the paper.
