In our Japanese academic high school, we team-taught our English classes; four Japanese teachers of English (JTEs), each taught two classes, assisted by one native English-speaking Assistant English Teacher (AET) in turn. The classes, each comprising 40 first-year high school students, met weekly for 50 minutes in the language laboratory. During most class time, we followed a Monbusho-approved Oral Communication B syllabus listening text and its taped exercises. We used Show-and-Tell as an oral exercise to help our students overcome affective barriers to speaking English. Unlike native speakers, they were unable to speak spontaneously in English, so they prepared speeches in advance.
