Abstract
Lack of engagement and class participation is a common struggle in the classroom. The proposed approach is to enhance the classroom experience with a conversational delivery by adding an active co-teacher who would talk from the same learner point of view as the students. This co-teaching model can be realized by pairing faculty with graduate students with the purpose of encouraging students to speak freely in the classroom and improve their communication skills. This paper supports the idea of implementing this model with benefits to faculty, graduate students, and the course students.
