THE JOB & PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Successful applicants will be required to conduct English conversation classes for Korean primary and secondary school students as part of the Korean government's aim to promote and strengthen English language education. A candidate should have a strong sense of creativity and motivation as well as enjoy working with young children as part of an academic team. Successful applicants are expected to focus on the development of oral communication skills using interactive teaching methods. These positions are contingent upon the satisfactory outcome (as determined by the board) of the pre-employment screening activities (including criminal history check and medical check) as required under the Korean Immigration procedures and the Korean Ministry of Education bylaws.

OBJECTIVES & TEACHING METHODOLOGY
The program was designed to create a learning milieu for primary & secondary pupils to learn to communicate in English, partly by learning how to think in English with the least possible involvement of Korean language in the learning curb. Objectives include teaching the students how to use the language spontaneously and orally, linking meaning with the target language. To do so a direct co-relation between the concepts and English is established through the use of regalia, pictures, story board, pantomime, and various audio-visual aids provided by the school

SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE FOLLOWING TEACHING FEATURES:
1. Classroom instruction is conducted primarily in the target language.
2. Everyday vocabulary and sentences are taught.
3. Oral communication skills are built up in a carefully traded progression organized around question-and-answer exchanges between teachers and students in a controlled learning environment.
4. Grammar is taught inductively.
5. New teaching points are taught through modeling and practice.
6. Concrete vocabulary is taught through demonstration, objects, and pictures; abstract vocabulary is taught by association of ideas.
7. Both speech and listening comprehension are taught.
8. Correct pronunciation and grammar are emphasized

EMPLOYMENT DETAILS:

- Paid Sick Leave: 15 Days + 60 Days Paid Maternity Leave
- 19 Days Add On Paid Leave (7 Days Matrimony, 7 Days Spousal/Parental Death, 5 Days Child Death)

TEAM TEACHING SCHEME (ESL Co-teaching Scheme with Several Korean English Teachers)
Although, ideally the goal of the program is to carry on the entire English learning experience only in English, the ex-pat teacher does not exclusively do it. As per the EPIK-s procedure, each native teacher is paired with several Korean English teachers to successfully prepare and execute every lesson for the whole school year. The Korean English teachers are in charge primarily to handle issues of classroom management and collaborate with instruction and class preparation. They are also task to communicate effectively the curriculum goals of the district for the school year as well as help the expat teacher settle in Korea.

JOINT APPLICATIONS & COUPLE-S HOUSING:
Qualified applicants who are keen on being placed in the same school board may file for joint applications. Rent-free, fully furnished couple-s flat (bigger than the standard solo flat) are provided by certain school boards for couples wanting to live together. However, since current accommodations owned by schools are primary for singles & most couple-s flat are currently occupied ONLY legally married-couples are guaranteed of couples- accommodation.

APPLICANTS WITH FAMILY & DEPENDENTS:
Successful applicants who are planning to bring their family with them in Korea may do so and live with them. Legal dependents should apply for F3 visa which is a family visa sponsored by an E2 Visa Holder (English Teaching Visa). They are also covered by the comprehensive medical insurance provided by the government to all EPIK teachers. Free public school tuition is also given to children of EPIK teaches wanting to enroll in Korean public schools.
