Collaborative Teaching: Are Two Teachers Better Than One? Reprinted from Essential Teacher, Volume 4, Issue 3,September 2007, Alexandria, VA: Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) “The city is more crowded. We would need more signs and traffic lights,” said one student. "We would have to live in apartments,” said another. The class was brainstorming how living in the city compared with living in the country. In a collaborative or co-teaching setting, the ESL teacher “pushes into” the general education classroom to collaborate with the teacher. Co-teachers are using the same physical space. Over the past few years co-teaching has become more popular as low incidence school districts search for ways to best serve the needs of their English language learners. Compare the co-teaching experience that I had with Ms.P with that of another ESL teacher in New Jersey. Paulo is a “push in ESL teacher” in a large school district. This is collaborative teaching at its worse. Teach and write. ESL teachers, however, cite many concerns.

I can think of at least two reasons why pronunciation tends to be neglected: firstly, the lack of clear guidelines and rules available in course books, and secondly the fact that isolated exercises once a month do not seem to have much of an effect. This is not surprising, however; like all other areas of language teaching, pronunciation needs constant attention for it to have a lasting effect on students, which means integrating it into daily classroom procedures. I find that addressing issues regularly during the language feedback or group correction stage of a lesson helps to focus learners' attention on its importance and leads to more positive experiences.
