概要 Team teaching (TT) has been playing an important role in Japanese English education, especially
at the secondary school level, since it started over 30 years ago (Reed, 2016). With the expansion
of English education at the elementary school level, the impact of TT on English teaching is going
to be even greater. This paper explores the current practices in TT by interviewing teachers who
have been participating in it in elementary schools. The interviews offer insights from the different
perspectives of homeroom teachers (HRTs), Japanese teachers of English (JTEs), and assistant
language teachers (ALTs) to show how TT has been conducted in practice. The results imply
that TT is a complicated system in which the roles of the three types of teachers are intertwined
and are not necessarily clearly defined. The paper offers suggestions for optimizing educational
outcomes within the system of TT.
