 note = {Across Japan demographically the student population is decreasing. This means that nationally universities are vying for students and competition between universities is rising. To survive institutions must take a critical look at the quality of education offered and if required make necessary changes to insure the increasing expectations of new and existing students are met. If changes are not made, then the current status quo will prevail and complacency may take hold. One method of insuring a continued and improving quality of education is through teacher collaboration. This is applicable both on a small scale as in specific lesson or class planning through to larger scale collaboration within departments, faculties and the institution itself. This paper looks at what collaboration is, and what is it not, the sacrifices that are involved in the collaborative cycle, and the rewards that can be potentially reaped. The practical details of how two instructors at Sapporo Gakuin University collaborated over a period of twelve months are examined. From this examination along with the results the potential for further collaboration within Sapporo Gakuin University becomes open to question., Bulletin, 論文},
