Script for ‘Teaching ESL in Korea’
So in this edition we’re talking… just kind of clarifying a couple [of] things, just about as far as the daily schedule. A normal schedule is usually, you know, 8:00 to 4:00 or, you
know, 8:30 to 4:30, somewhere in there, and you usually get an hour for lunch, and you usually teach about 18, between 18 and 20, 18 or 20 classes per week. And so they’re usually 40 to 50 minute classes. And so you’ll have maybe [four] 50-minute classes a day. And basically what happens is that you teach each class only once a week. So you have 20 different classes once a week, and then for the rest of the week they get English from the Korean English teacher. So, for example, one lesson plan that I did is I did a dialogue of the phrase you know ‘Can you take my picture please?’ like if you’re traveling, right, and I just did a short little dialogue about that and explained that when you’re traveling if you want someone to take your picture, you can ask them, you know, ‘Will you please take my picture?’ And so we practiced that dialogue and did a couple [of] different things and then I had each class go and stand at the back, and then I just brought my camera to class and then took a picture of each class. And so usually it goes something like that, you know. You will come up with a lesson plan and then teach it to each class throughout the week, once a week.
Most of the teachers that I know in the public schools, will also get paid to teach at least one adult class which will be either some of the teachers at the school that want to learn English or out some of the parents of the students. So that’s usually one or two hours a week, and it’s mixed in with your regular schedule, and it’s a lot of fun because they’re adults, and they’re really anxious to learn, and so that’s usually also a part of the schedule as an adult class.
