Difficulties
First of all, we should outline some of the typical difficulties that are
experienced. It is often problematic for both JTEs and ALTs to
effectively team-teach together.
Alternatives to Translation
1) Using Pictures
This works well for nouns and adjectives. You can draw or use a
picture source from a book, the internet etc. to demonstrate the word.
2) Using Gestures
Gestures work well for verbs, adjectives, prepositions and a whole
range of grammar.

Key
Student-focused lessons lessons where students are more active and
involved in the lessons and where the teacher takes a more passive
role.
