I believe you know the definitions of staccato and tenuto and i'm quite sure the composer does not mean it to be a 'staccato+tenuto' thingie. (i think it's rather impossible ) Anyway, the 'staccato and tenuto marks' actually denotes 'MEZZO STACCATO' it means to hold the note for 3quaters of the note's time value. Then again, do follow your instructor/conductor on how he wants it to be played as there are different interpretations to different music. i have this link stored before previously when i ran into the same confusion you encountered & hope it might be useful for you http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory21.htm#staccato it also offers a huge huge range of other information on music theories. manymanymany pages, so take your time - no hurry! I hope all the above did answer your doubts, and do correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks!
