@article{oai:honan.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000286, author = {藤本 アダムソン, 直生}, month = {Mar}, note = {application, This study discusses roles and responsibilities in team-teaching by English native-speaking ALTs (Assistant Language Teachers) and JTLs (Japanese Teachers of Language) in English classes at Japanese secondary schools. Mombukagakusho (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) organized a 'JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme' to offer students more opportunities to develop their communicative competence. However, there is much discussion and many difficulties have arisen. This study investigates the complex relationship between the JTLs and the ALTs, described in the policy document. The ALT is positioned in contradictory ways in the document, that is as both an assistant and expert. This is problematic for the relationship the two teachers are expected to form. To overcome these difficulties, a proposal is suggested that the requirements to be met by the ALTs should be modified to ensure they are trained teachers.}, pages = {143--169}, title = {Policy and Practice of the Partnership in Team-teaching Classrooms: Ideology and Reality}, volume = {20}, year = {2003} }
