Abstract
This paper investigated the challenges which the lecturers and leaders at Limkokwing University faced when using co-teaching in their classrooms. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from 50 participants based in 6 faculties at the Botswana campus. Data were analyzed using pie charts and graphs to interpret the views of lecturers and Heads of departments about co-teaching. The results obtained revealed that the lecturers at Limkokwing University lacked the necessary skills required for the implementation of co-teaching and that they are not well versed with co-teaching models. It is also evident that there are no co-teaching frameworks that are being implemented by the faculties under study to support co-teaching usage. In addition, lecturers did not have adequate teaching and learning resources for co-teaching implementation.
