Abstract

The co-teaching experience of Kazakhstani and American university English as a Foreign Language Instructors is described. The instructors taught intermediate level integrated English at Zhangir Khan West Kazakhstan Agrarian-Technical University in Uralsk, Kazakhstan using communicative language methodology. The two teachers were able to tap into each other’s expertise. The students benefited by having two instructional professionals who could bring different perspectives and backgrounds to the classroom. Since Ms. Irgaliyeva was closer in age to the students and more in touch with their particular interests and concerns, she selected specific material to attract their attention. Dr. Bantel, as a native English speaker, could teach American idioms, provide pronunciation instruction and offer cultural information and a global perspective gleaned from having taught English at universities in the US and 10 other countries abroad.
