This study investigates how student teachers and cooperating teachers of English perceive on the role of cooperating teachers in the student teaching practicum. 56 student teachers and 28 cooperating teachers responded to the open-ended question of the role of cooperating teachers on a questionnaire. The findings reveal that both groups of respondents regarded English teaching and understanding of secondary school students as the most important roles of cooperating teachers. However, while student teachers expected cooperating teachers to guide themselves in the areas of providing professional support to their teaching including giving feedback, modeling teaching, etc., cooperating teachers perceived giving tips on how to apply the student teachers’ knowledge to real classroom settings, and emphasizing professional development as an English teacher as their important roles. Some implications of these findings are provided along with the limitations of the study.
