Toyohashi JALT:

The Cultural and Institutional Context of JTE - AET Team-Teaching

Date: Sunday, January 26th, 2003 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: William Matheny, AET

Description:
Since William Mathen began working as an Assistant English Teacher (AET) in 1997, he has often pondered what he perceives as the limitations of AETs as an EFL curriculum innovation. Some of the limitations are obvious, but when the AET position is examined in relation to cross-cultural phenomena and theory related to innovation, a number of additional potential weaknesses appear. Matheny will describe how team teaching appears to be flourishing in the face of a formidable array of obstacles.
