Oh! Co-teaching with another native speaker must be a really different experience. How was it?
Sorry, I never answered this. It was great! Even when it wasn't so great

Like I said above, it's great to have a partner for conversation modeling, especially when you're teaching conversation. You don't need a CD, because you've got 2 people to act out your introduction. You can make changes on the fly. For children's classes one of us would go and sit in the students section (an empty desk) and pretend to be a student. Then that teacher would model what it was we wanted the children to do. That was really helpful.

Think of how much more you could do if there was another you in the class
