Re: Teaching the names of techniques.
I found it helped to have a book with step-by-step pictures of the techniques, including the names, which I compared to what we had done in class. Of course, you can't learn from a book, but it really helps with the names, besides it's often easier to see foreign words in writing rather than just hearing them.
We are also given a list of techniques which we have to know for the exams, so we can always ask an instructor if we've still not familiar with a certain technique.
Christian Tissier Sensei's book, Aïkido, is the most useful to us because we follow his style and the techniques, with the attacks, are in the order of the kyu-grading.
