The sword cuts things.

The shield (hopefully) stops him from getting killed.

To me, thats Jaune's whole 'thing'. He's the odd one out, the one 'normal' guy among a school of ludicriously overpowered killiers. not to say he can't hold his own, just that I see him as fighting in more of a conventional, 'normal' way as opposed to everyone else's flashy, acrobatic styles utilizing exotic weapons and techniques.
