EPIK (English Program in Korea) has a contest every year for the English teachers in South Korea. There are 3 categories:
- English Co-teaching Video: contestants create a video that showcases an English Conversation Class and the methods used by Native English Teachers and their Korean co-teachers.
- EPIK life video: contestants create a video that highlights life is Korea. They discuss teaching, food, culture, traveling, etc.. and present a picture of what it is like to live here.
- EPIK Volunteer Essay: contestants write an essay describing any volunteer work they have done with teaching in Korea.
I love teaching and Josh loves making videos. So it seemed obvious that we had put something together for the Co-teaching category.
I chose one of my favourite classes to be recorded for the contest. They knew a week in advance that Josh would be joining and recording our lesson. Although it can be nerve racking being in front of a camera, the girls did a fantastic job participating in this lesson. Josh did an amazing job recording, editing, and composing the music for this video. Although we didn't win the video contest, working with Kate, Josh, and my students was a great experience.
The lesson we taught follows the rotating groups method highlighted in my Divide and Conquer: Four classroom management tips that work blog post. The topic lesson is titled My Story: Past, Present, and Future
For your viewing pleasure, the following video introduces my amazing Co-Teacher Sunhye Kim (Kate) and our fantastic second year girls English Conversation Class:
