Team-teaching: The Good and The Ugly - TEFL Blog

Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas
Team-teaching: The Good and The Ugly
A preferred method of teaching abroad is the team-teaching approach. This is where two teachers, dubbed T1 (often the "main" teacher") and T2 (often the "assistant"), work together to develop a syllabus, prepare materials and lessons, teach students, then evaluate the results and make changes whenever deemed necessary. As the base, unless T2 has strong language skills in the local language, T1 will be expected to explain core grammar. Both are responsible for their own contributions to the class in order to create a cohesive classroom for effective English learning.
