Introduction
Welcome to the Gangwondo EPIK program. Whether you are a first time
teacher or you have many years experience, whether you are new to Korea
or have taught here many years, I am sure that your time here will be a
rewarding experience. It’s important to take the initiative and get involved
with your school and your community. Make an effort to learn some Korean
and to learn some of the customs and you will find that not only will your time
here be easier and more enjoyable but also the teachers in your school will
come to have a greater respect for you. Take an interest in your students
and be an enthusiastic teacher and they too will become enthusiastic about
learning English.
This Manual
The exemplars and/or lesson plans in this manual were submitted by other EPIK
teachers currently and/or previously employed in the program. These lesson
plans were intended to provide new teachers with a guide to making their
own lesson plans. Please read over the lesson plans in this manual and take
from them what you will. Use the lesson plans in their entirety or take ideas
from each to make your own lessons that suit your own teaching style and/or
the needs of your students. Please, however, keep in mind the considerations
listed below.
Team Teaching
Team teaching is the preferred teaching methodology in Gangwondo. Team
teaching is a collaborative teaching process where both the foreign native
English speaking teacher and the local teachers participate equally in
teaching. From preparing lessons and lesson materials, to teaching in the
classroom, all teachers work together. When team teaching not only you but
also your team teachers will be producing lessons and lesson plans according
to the curriculum that you and your team teachers decide to use.
1
may still have some preferred direction for you to follow with regard to your
curriculum though. Please be flexible and consult with your co-teachers
before planning your lessons.
Conversation focus
Conversation should be the primary focus of your lessons. We are not here to
replace the local English teachers, but to complement their teaching and their
curriculum in addition to inspiring students to speak English. Vocabulary and
grammar are covered in great detail by the curriculum provided to your
students by their local English teachers. Our level of expertise comes from our
ability to freely converse in English. By doing this in the classroom, students
can model our speaking ability, become accustomed to hearing spoken
English from a native English speaker, and practice conversing spontaneously
in English. This gives students more confidence in their speaking ability.
Unfortunately, for many of you, you will find that the level of English ability in
your students is not very high. So you will be faced with the problem of
teaching conversation to students who lack the vocabulary and grammar skills
to competently converse in English. How is this done? The answer is simple.
You will have to be patient and innovative.
2
for quick and easy reference. It is also a good idea to encourage your high
level students to be more creative in their responses, and to not restrict
themselves to your sentence patterns. Your sentence patterns should be a
guide and not a rule of law. Your lesson should also have activities that allow
students to converse, not only with you, but also with each other. Many
teachers do not do this, for fear that students will just speak Korean while not
under close scrutiny from the English teacher. While this is often true in the
beginning, given enough practice and encouragement, it can be done
successfully.
American English
American English is the preferred English to be taught to students in the EPIK
program. What is American English? Well, to most native English speakers
the concept of American English is difficult to grasp. Isn’t all English the
same? While that is true for the most part, there are some subtle differences.
The most obvious difference is in spelling. If you are from Britain or a British
Commonwealth country, such as Australia or Canada, you should be aware
that some words are spelled differently. For example, in American English
color is spelled ‘color’ not ‘colour’. Be aware of this so as not to confuse
students who have already learned vocabulary using the American spelling.
Cultural exchange
As foreign teachers of English, we have more to teach than just English.
Students, particularly Korean students, are very curious about other cultures.
Please feel free to incorporate some lessons about culture into your classroom.
This is often a good time to utilize some of the multimedia facilities in your
school. Pictures, video and powerpoint presentations are a good way to
teach lessons on culture since most students will want to see first hand what it is
you are talking about. Holidays are also a good opportunity for cultural
exchange; however, keep in mind that a large percentage of people in Korea
are Christians, and so lessons on Christmas, for example, may be redundant.
3
All English classroom
There are many different perspectives on how one should teach English with
regard to the amount of the local language that should be used in the
classroom. Your local teachers will likely teach with direct Korean translation,
and will give instruction in Korean. You, with the assistance of your co-
teachers, will have to decide how you will approach this. Most foreign
teachers choose to use only English in their classrooms. New vocabulary is
then taught using pictures, actions, or previously learned vocabulary for
explanation. This forces students to listen to the teacher and to make an
effort to understand, but can cause students to feel uncomfortable or
disoriented and confused, at least until they become accustomed to it. A
second consideration is how much you will allow students to speak Korean.
Some teachers allow their students to speak to each other in Korean, while
other teachers do not. Again, the choice is yours.
Student interests
Students learn faster when they take an interest in what they are learning.
Students gain more confidence and feel more comfortable when discussing
subjects which they are knowledgeable and passionate about. Students also
learn more when they know that their teacher has taken an interest in their
lives. It is a good idea, at the beginning of the school year, to take a survey
of students’ interests so that you can incorporate those topics into your
curriculum.
Behavior Management
Before you walk into your first class, you should have a system in place to deal
with misbehavior. Many foreign teachers overlook this problem with disastrous
results. Quite often the local teacher will handle behavior problems in your
class if you do not; however, if your co-teacher is a poor disciplinarian, then it is
your class that will suffer. It is a good idea to discuss this subject with your co-
teachers before your first class so that you can develop a system of behavior
management that complements the system used in most classes. Whatever
system you choose, don’t underestimate the value of positive reinforcement.
If your students are doing a good job and behaving well, praise them for it.
This can do wonders for stemming misbehavior before it starts.

Conversation
6
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Teacher must prepare various easy dialogues. PENGUIN is substituted
for one of the words in the dialogue. It should be a word explicit in the
dialogue and used a few times.
Short empty dialogue frames that students will fill out in their own time.
The two teachers should make sure they are familiar with the dialogues so
that they can be delivered as naturally, fluently as possible.
Activity/Lesson
Write PENGUIN in large commanding letters on the board. Explain that
PENGUIN is a substitute word that the students must guess. A partner
teacher’s help may be needed but any teacher can illustrate this easily
without any Korean being spoken. Using feelings to do this is especially
effective (I am so PENGUIN!)
The 2 teachers will begin an animated bus stop conversation. I always
use weather to begin with. The dialogue can look like this:
A: Good day, sir B: Yes, a very good day.
A: The PENGUIN is beautiful. B: Yes, I love this PENGUIN. Today is a
perfect spring day.
A: What will the PENGUIN be tomorrow? B: Perfect, of course.
Of course, students get a kick out of hearing, “I love this PENGUIN” and it
sucks them in. When a student knows the answer they raise their hand
and are severely penalized for shouting out the answer (think leeches).
7
The dialogues can be as challenging as is appropriate and throwing in
some common idioms will spice things up for higher levels.
Of course, students must be encouraged to do these dialogues too. Groups
of 2 can be given dialogues and a few minutes must be given to them to
read the dialogues and understand them. Special attention must be given
to the pronunciation and intonation in these cases. The teachers must
coach the groups through their acting. Small stickers can be given to the
groups who are most animated and who have the best intonation. The
two teachers have the opportunity to illustrate and have the groups follow.
Post-Activity/Review
Groups can be given blank dialogue sheets that they must fill in. Some
students have more difficulty than others. I have found it helpful to make
a space at the top of the dialogue where students write the substituted
word. Then, they can build from there. Otherwise, some students get
stuck on how to begin.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Chalkboard, multicolored chalk, paper and pencils
Teacher will write the days of the week on the board with a square beside
each day to write the number that corresponds with it.
Activity/Lesson
Introduce the days of the week and their number in the week: example:
(Sunday will be 1, Saturday is 7 etc.)
The teacher will say and spell each day with the students several times.
The students will then say each day of the week as a list.
The teacher will explain the beginning and the end of the week using
numbers for each day as she/he gives a complete sentence, It is Tuesday.
Today is Tuesday.
The teacher will give a number and ask the student what day is it.
The teacher will repeat this questioning until all students have answered at
least once. They will use the model from the teacher: It is…….Today
is……….
The teacher will point to the day and number on the board and ask the
students to write a complete sentence to the question,: What day is today?
The students will write: It is Tuesday. Today is Tuesday.
The teacher will point to each day of the week and the students will write
two sentences for each day of the week.
The students will recite the days of the week and spell each one from the
9
board

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Ask the students: "what am I wearing?"
Go over the clothing that I am wearing: pants, sweater, t-shirt, socks, slippers
Then go back to what I am wearing: brown pants; white t-shirt; brown and
black slippers; blue, white and black sweater.
Activity/Lesson
Have students describe a partner, like they are on a clothing infomercial
(demonstrate at the front with one student – demonstrate being the model and
being the speaker) - pointing when they say what their partner is wearing.
Walk around and observe.
11
Then one student is given the ring.
The detective comes back in the room.
The detective asks ten yes/no questions about what the person with the ring is
wearing.
Everyone must answer the questions.
After I go. I have everyone repeat: "He wears" and "She wears." Then I
have them repeat "He wears blue?" with questioning and "She wears a blue
jacket?" with questioning intonation.
Then I pick a strong student to be the detective first. They leave the room with
the co-teacher covering his/her ears. I hand the ring to one student. I have
that student stand at the front and whisper what they are wearing. I tell the
class: "do not look at him/her."
Then the detective enters the class.
12
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Materials. Items of clothing such as a cap, trousers,jacket,gloves
and a sweater.
A dialogue as per the following,,,
Activity / Lesson.
A) Where is Bob?
B) He is standing next to John.
He is wearing a red shirt.
This is a dialogue provided in the first grade text book I am using.
There is a picture provided with the dialogue.
The last part of the lesson I go over parts of the school uniform.
Then ask the question Where are you?
13
Answer I am sitting next to Soo pyo, I am wearing a blue sweater.
Do this for a few minutes then get other students to ask the question.
The students like this lesson as they can put my clothes on,they are
usually too big and the other students think it is funny.
Post-Activity/Review
A couple of minutes asking Where is _______?
What is this?
What colour is it ?
14
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials:
Print out some photos of between 4 (small class) and 10 (big class)
animals. Make a list of those animals as well. Make a list of some
things in the class room you intend to use. (10 things) Next to the
name of the thing, write down 1 adjective to describe it. (ie, wall/white.
Pencil/yellow)
Activity/Lesson:
Warmer: find things game. Adjectives from your room list to get
students, individually, to find things that have property described by the
adjective. Example, the adjective is “yellow” so the student just has to
find something yellow. It does NOT have to be the pencil. However,
when you make your list, it is better if you use adjectives that can only
be ascribed to one noun in the class so that way students are faced
with a bigger challenges insofar as finding the thing. 15 minutes.
Presentation:
1) Hold up photos of animals. Get the students to say the
name of each and write the name on the board as they say
it.
2) Get students to say one adjective about each animal. As
they say the adjective, write that adjective down next to
whichever animal it pertains to. This may be difficult to
15
explain, so you’ll have to demonstrate with your co-teacher
first.
3) Pick 2 animals. Use the adjective given to one to compare
it to another. Example: If the animal was whale, and the
adjective was big and the other animal was sheep and the
adjective was white, ask, “which animal is bigger?” and
“which animal is more white?” This is how you teach
comparative.
4) Pick three animals. This time, it will be, “which animal is
biggest?” and “which animal is most white?”
5) Put students in groups of 3-5. Give one animal to each
group. It is fun/funny to give girl groups animals like tiger or
wolf and give boy groups animals like panda or sheep.
Then tell each group they need to make an argument for
why their animal is the best. The argument should be a
speech in which each student in the group says at least 1
sentence about the animal. Co-teacher help needed to
explain directions. Give 10 minutes to students to make
sentences. Walk around the class and show students how
they could write a sentence using superlative for their animal.
6) Students go around the class saying their sentences.
7) Students, working as complete groups, will make 1 sentence
for why their animal is better than another using comparative.
Example, panda is more cute than lion. By this time,
hopefully, the students will just start talking/using
comparative superlative on their own. If they are speaking
freely, you can just relax the rules of the game and let them
go.
Post-Activity/Review
Next class, draw three of the animals. Get them to make comparative and
superlative sentences comparing each. (5 minutes).

Student Level/Grade: 3
Lesson Title: Directions
Class Aims/Goals: By the end of the lesson students will be able to:
• Use new vocabulary appropriately to ask for and give directions
• Listen to a set of directions and then correctly identify the desired
destination
• Practise interpersonal speaking using the new directions vocabulary
Length of Lesson: single/multi This unit usually requires two lessons but this
can be shortened or lengthened according to the ability of your class
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
• Handouts (*refer to Handout section)
• Map – The one in this sample was made specifically for my classes.
For the first lesson I used 6 large maps (A3) that were laminated.
Feel free to modify the map as required. (*refer to Handout section)

3. Pair Activity: 10 min
In pairs the students will take turns practising asking and giving
directions. One person is pretending to be lost and must ask the
other for directions to a ‘destination’
e.g. “Excuse me, can you tell me how to find the park?” “Sure.
First…..”
Take turns with the different roles
4. Volunteers to demonstrate conversation in front of the class 10 min
(points)
Post-Activity/Review
Give them a small copy of the map with 4 sets of directions. They must then
use the map and directions to find the destinations. Check at the next class.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
“Blank” map with named roads, avenues, and 6 lettered blocks (not
provided).
A list of building locations
Example : “The post office is on the northeast corner of block E”
“The subway station is between the post office and the park”
Activity/Lesson
Divide the class into 6 groups. First, go over various relevant terms such
as spatial prepositions, directions, and building names. Then, have the
students create the map using the list of building locations. The map is of
the classroom, with each desk cluster being a block and the aisles between
the clusters being streets and avenues. I walk in the room, as a tourist
and say that I want to do various things. The students then tell me what
building I must go to and, using their maps, give me directions. It is very
easy to keep their attention with this one, as it lends itself to comedy. For
example, after being directed to the telephone booth, I grab the student’s
hand and talk into it as if it were a telephone, having a conversation with
my mother (after which I ask them to paraphrase the conversation). After
buying and drinking milk, I yelled, “poison!” and fell to the ground, after
which many students immediately shouted out “Hospital! Go to hospital!”
You will find methods that work with your particular class.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
A simply laid out map to teach the simpler terms of go straight, turn right
etc (not provided).
A more difficult map of Wonju City and area to teach the extended terms
such as go through the intersection, go over the bridge, etc (not provided).
The phrases can be listed in chalk on the board, or for visual clarity you
may choose to use printed words and phrases.
Explanations of the words and phrases are given if necessary.
go straight/go back go through go __ meters/kilometers/
Activity/Lesson
A simple printed page utilizing the prepositions of location is used first. This
refreshes what the students have probably learned in other English classes.
The new phrases and expressions simply further the students
understanding.
20
The easier of the two maps is used first.
Questions used here are: “Excuse me!” “Could you tell me where is
________?” and “How do I get to ___________ please?”
Tag is played with the students and questions and answers.
Post-Activity/Review
To wrap up the class, and to help the students remember the phrases. I
sometimes play a game of opposites with the phrases. Such as;
It’s in front of/It’s in back of
Go over the bridge/Go under the bridge
Etc.
21
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Two maps, one for teaching and one for exercise (not provided)
Activity/Lesson
Mime left and right and straight and have students guess what it is. Tell
them they will learn directions. 5 minutes
Draw a map and tell them the boy is a foreigner in Korea and needs their
help to find his girlfriend’s house. Have the students direct the boy to his
girlfriend’s house, then to the restaurant and the movie theatre. Make sure
you include what you want to teach them on the map. This might include
“Turn/go right/left”, “go straight”, “turn around”, “At the traffic light/corner”,
“Go up/down one block”, “On your right/left” “cross the road” and etc.
depending on their level. When students get stuck help them out by
teaching them these words.
15 minutes
Give them a map and ask them to use the phrases taught to direct me to
different places on the map. 15 minutes
Have one student go outside the classroom, then hide an object in the
22
classroom (I used candy). Get the student to come back and ask the class
to direct him/her to find the candy. You may also try blindfold if the
classroom is relatively safe. Alternatively you can play pin the nose on
Rudolf. 10 minutes
Post-Activity/Review
To review you can ask students to mime instructions such as “Turn right”,
“Go straight” etc.

Get students to volunteer in pairs to do the script as a role-play
4. Guess what I’m buying! 15 min
‘Explain, Mime, Draw’ – each group has a turn. One member of
24
the group will come to the front. I will show them a word from
the script (e.g. apple, orange, pineapple etc).
They can choose to ‘explain’ ‘mime’ or ‘draw’ the word. Ex=3
points, mime = 2points, draw = 1 point
The team gets the points if they can guess the shopping word
within 2 minutes
Post-Activity/Review
You can review the vocabulary again
You can make a cloze activity for them to do as homework
You can also get them to make market stalls and have the other students shop
for their goods using the new vocabulary (This may take place after a couple of
lessons on shopping)
25
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Activity/Lesson
Start the lesson by saying a few greetings to the students and see how
they respond. Elicit what they already know on the board. If they don’t
know then teach them. Make sure you organize the board to include all the
greetings you wish to teach. You might want to use a substitution table to
make it easier to fit in everything. If you don’t know what a substitution
table is see example. 15 minutes
Divide students into pairs and ask them to practice saying these greetings.
5 minutes
26
Ask a few students to come up to the front and say these greetings in front
of the whole class. This will make sure they actually practice rather than
just talk in Korean. If you have space in your class you can also arrange
them in circles and put one student in the centre. The student in the centre
needs to go up to a student in the circle and exchange greetings. Then the
new student will come to the centre and it keeps going until all students
have a turn. You can monitor by going from circle to circle. 10 minutes
Give each student a strip from the paper you prepared and ask them to find
their partner. For example if one student has the strip “How have you
been?” He or she needs to find the partner who has the strip “I have been
OK.” They are not allowed to show each other the strip of paper, so they
must talk to each other to find out what they have and if it is a match. 15
minutes
Post-Activity/Review
You can either review by asking the whole group to respond to your
greetings or you can pick individual students in the class to respond. The
student you picked then has to pick a second student and greet him/her.
You can do this for about 5-10 minutes

Post-Activity/Review
Divide students into groups of 5. Hand out the pictures you printed off
earlier. Explain that you will say a name of an activity and the students
must bring the correct picture up to you. The team that brings the right

Lesson Plan
Student Level/Grade: Upper Elementary (4th – 6th grade) and Lower Middle
School (1st – 2nd grade)
Lesson Title: Going Shopping
Class Aims/Goals: The goal is to teach language commonly used for
shopping, so that students can ask for, find the price of, and purchase
everyday food and clothing items.
Length of Lesson single/multi: Single class (40-45 minutes)
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
The teacher starts a discussion about their student’s favorite food or
favorite clothing brand name. The teacher should ask questions to
students about which supermarkets and department stores they and
their families like to shop at. It could also be interesting to ask students
how much different items cost in Korea like shoes or pizza, for example.
Then, students use paper to draw, cut out, and color different clothes
and food items like blouses, socks, cans of soup, hamburgers, etc.
The teacher should limit the number of items the students have to make,
like two food items and two clothes items, in order to have time to
complete the lesson. The teacher should take note of which items
most students are making so they can get an idea of what vocabulary
they need to teach.
Activity/Lesson
When students have completed making their clothes and food items, the
teacher should review the vocabulary for the things that the students
made. The teacher can write or ask students to write the names of
each item on the board. Now, the teacher must write on the board the
basic sentences used to ask for, find the price of, and purchase items in
35
a store. The teacher should make sure the students know how to
correctly pronounce and use these phrases.
Post-Activity/Review
The students should prepare for a role-play. Every student must write
the name of each item they have made on the back of the item. This is
to prevent confusion during the role-play in case the student has
forgotten the vocabulary. Next, the class is divided into two groups, a
supermarket and a department store. One student is chosen as the
shopkeeper for the supermarket and one student for the department
store. The shopkeepers collect all of the items that the students have
made and display them on a table. One at a time, students come and
ask for, find the price for, and purchase different items.

Copy of “Frosty The Snowman” lyrics for each student
Activity/Lesson
First, teach the students the song including any new words that are
necessary. After practicing it a few times, open up the “Frosty the
Snowman” cartoon, which can be found for free on google video. After
each 5 minutes of the video, pause it to ask questions about the story and
to ask the students to give advice for the characters or to make predictions
about what will happen next. As always, points or candy for participation
makes for a much more attentive, active class. Periodically, portions of
the song are sung in the cartoon. At these times, the students can refer to
their lyric sheet and sing along. It also helps to give points to the group
who sings the loudest, otherwise many students just mumble it under their
breath.
37
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Materials –
• Survey sheet – one for every student (*refer to Handout section),
tennis ball
Pre-Activity –
• There are many different ways to ask questions. In this particular
activity students ask questions in these forms -
Do you have…Do you like…Did you go… (you can have others
depending on the ability of your students). All the questions need
to be read through and discussed making sure all students
understand what the questions mean as well as what kind of
answer they need to elicit.
Activity/Lesson
38
• Students will move around the classroom surveying classmates.
Students are to question and answer in appropriate structures.
ie. Do you have a brother? No I don’t have a brother
Do you like pizza? Yes, I like pizza
If a student answers no, ask another question until a YES
answer is given, then move to another student. When a YES is
given, write the name of the student in the corresponding space
given. Continue activity till the survey is complete or time is up.

them to leave space below each animal for notes. Ask the
students to decide which body parts and actions go with which
each animal. The students can compare their lists in pairs.
Alternatively, you can elicit each animal’s body parts and
actions as a class. For example, A crocodile: legs, scales, a tail,
crawl, swim.
5. Give one student a blank piece of paper or sticker and ask him
or her to write one of the animals from the board on the paper.
Let the other students see the word. Do not look at what they
write. Ask him or her to stick it on your back. Use the sentence
structures to guess what the animal is. For example, ‘Do I have
wings?’ ‘Can I swim?’ Let them answer, ‘Yes, you do.’ ‘No, you
can’t.’ You can repeat more examples with or without the paper
until the students seem clear about the game and new
vocabulary. Let different students come to the front of the class
and try to guess an animal.
6. Now, the whole class can play the game individually. Let each
student find a partner and give each student a piece of paper.
Ask them to write 2 or 3 animals on the paper without letting
anyone see it. Then, they can stick or pin the paper to the back
of their partner. Tell the students to guess their animal by going
around the room and asking one person only one question
each about their body parts and actions. When the student has
guessed all their animals, they can check the sticker.
44
this in pairs. To make it more challenging, you can choose
other animals not on the list.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Material
Print the worksheet and make copies for the students (*refer to the
Handout section)
Have your co-teacher help you to match the jobs(in English) to the Korean
names for the jobs. Keep this completed version as a reference for
yourself.
Make sure your co-teacher understands all of the questions at the bottom
of the worksheet.
Activity/Lesson
From my experience, the activity in this lesson works better with the
students in teams of 4-6 members(I usually put the students into teams at
the beginning of class to get all the chair and desk shuffling over with).
First of all, go over the job names on the worksheet placing emphasis on
pronunciation. Next, give the students about 5 minutes to work within
their groups at matching the English job names to the Korean names.
48
During this time it helps to walk around the class giving hints to teams who
seem to be stumped.
After the students have had a chance to match the ones they know, go
through each of the jobs again. This time encourage the students to call
out the matching Korean job names. If you come to a job that nobody
knows try acting out the job to see if the students can guess it. As a last
resort, have you co-teacher translate the word.
******IMPORTANT throughout the matching activity, the Korean teacher should be
monitoring the class to make sure the students are calling out the correct job
names in Korean.*******************
When the matching is finished, go over the questions at the bottom of the
worksheet. Do your best to make sure the students understand what
each question means. Once again it is important for the co-teacher to be
involved.
Finally, have the students carry out guessing activity related to the
worksheet. It’s pretty simple. One team secretly chooses a job and the
other teams ask the questions from the bottom of the worksheet to try and
guess the secret job. You can change the rules of this activity to suit your
needs.
Post-Activity/Review
Try to leave yourself a few minutes at the end of the class to go over the
jobs one last time. Have the students repeat the English words after you
and call out the Korean words immediately after.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Firstly arrange everybody into teams of preferably four. Hopefully with
the help from the co-teacher you can arrange the teams into equal, fair
English capabilities. Good idea to discuss this with your co-teacher
prior to the lesson. Next, hand out the worksheet to each child (not
included).
Activity/Lesson
Before starting explain slowly and carefully the instructions to each part,
maybe with the help of your co-teacher as well. After explanation you
can write on the board that they only have around 10mins to complete
as much as they can. (this point depends on how much the lesson in
your Elementary School is; if 40mins around 10mins, if 45mins around
10-15mins, if 50mins around 15-20mins) Also you can judge how
much more time you will allow the students during the exercise on
53
looking how much the students have progressed with the handout.
Always try an aim to allow a good 15mins or so for the overall review,
evaluation of the handout to the students.
When the students are working on the part one wordsearch, you may
want to explain that words can be found diagonally as well. This is up
to your discretion.
Furthermore, when you feel you want to give them only 5mins left you
may want to indicate this on the board. Equally the same with a 1min
left warning.
In addition to this, if there is only 5mins left and you see students still
tackling the first parts of the handout, you may want to encourage
tackling other latter parts of the worksheet to allow them to try other
parts of the handout before running out of time.
Post-Activity/Review
The first part the animal’s wordsearch, say slowly, followed by the
children each animal in English. Then get the children to say each
animal in Korean. Afterwards write on the board that in fact the
animals are further special as they are indeed Farm Animals.
The second part the jumbled colours. Write each colour on the board
followed by you saying the colour, then the children saying each colour
in turn firstly in English then in Korean.
The third part, write the days and months in full on the board, with you
again saying them in English first out loud, followed by the children.
54
The fourth part, write the full English Alphabet on the board and ask for
the children to say the alphabet afterwards. You can then say the
alphabet afterwards to demonstrate right pronunciation to the children
as well.
The fifth part, filling in the blanks to the sentences. Write each word
that was blanked in each sentence on the board then ask the students
to say each sentence out loud firstly in English then in Korean. Before
that you can say the sentence out in English first to demonstrate correct
pronunciation.
55
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Suggested Materials: PowerPoint slideshow, flash cards, song lyrics
handout (Old MacDonald had a farm)(not included)
Preparation: Collect photos of different animals and make a
PowerPoint or some flash cards.
Pre-Activity: Commence the lesson with a greeting then ask each
student “How are you?” Next ask “What did we do last lesson?”
Spend a couple of minutes on the previous lesson’s vocabulary or
target sentences.
Activity/Lesson
Announce the lesson topic of animals. Ask, “Do you have a pet?” Go
to your flash cards or PowerPoint and elicit the animal name. Mime
the animal or make the animal noise and encourage the students to do
the same. Repeat for all of your animals. A good sample of animals
to use is; ant, bear, bird, camel, cat, cow, dog, eagle, elephant, fish, frog,
kangaroo, lion, monkey, mouse, panda, pig, lion, shark, snake, turtle
and wolf.
Group the students into four to six students, move their desks so they
have a “house”.
Knock on a desk, think of an animal and act it out.
Say “I’m a ____”. If I’m scary, eg. “I’m a lion” then the students say “no,
you can’t come in”. If “I’m a bird” then they say “yes, come in”. You
should act out the animal, eg. Fly around the house, peck them on the
56
head, make bird noises.
Visit each house once, then choose a student to be the mystery animal.
Post-Activity/Review
Sing, “Old MacDonald had a farm”, again encourage the actions and
elicit the matching noises for the animals (eg. Cow’s moo, pigs oink).
To finish the lesson ask each student “What’s your favourite animal?”

from the second student. The second student must not look at his
photocopy. If the second student cannot remember the word, he
says he can’t remember, and the first student gives him the answer.
After a few more times like this, students change roles, so that the
second student now looks at his photocopy, but the first student
doesn’t.
E. Ask students to turn over their photocopies, containing words to
song. Explain that we are now going to sing a song together
called “Head and shoulders knees and toes”. Read slowly
through the song first of all, a line at a time, getting SS to repeat
each line after you. Explain that we will be doing actions to go
along with the song. Most students know the idea of the song
already, if not all the words. On the first time of singing through
the song, go quite slowly. On the second time, go a bit faster, and
then see if any students can keep up with you on a fast third
version. Most students found it hilarious when I did it really fast
with them, as they were unable to keep up with the actions and the
words.
F. Explain to the students that we are now going to play a game.
Write “stand up” on the board.” Some students will follow your
written instructions. Now motion to students that they must not
stand up. Now write “Simon says” in front of “stand up” on the
board, and motion to students that they can now stand up.
Similarly, write “sit down” on the board, but motion to students that
they must remain standing. Finally write “Simon Says” in front of
“sit down” on the board, and motion that students can now sit down.
At this point, a lot of students fully understood the idea of the game
without any intervention by the co-teacher, and those students that
didn’t understand promptly had the instructions explained to them
by those students who did understand the game. Explain with
one example that if I say “stand up” and some students stand up,
then those who stand up, are dead and have to go to the back of
the class and sit out the rest of the game. Now you can start the
game.
G. To make the game relevant to the lesson, ask the students to touch
their nose, toes, elbows etc. interspersed with “Simon says”. To
61
make it really amusing for the students, get them to stand in pairs
and ask them to touch their friend’s nose, their friend’s toes etc.
Post-Activity/Review
I did a game of hangman to remind students of some of the difficult words from
today’s lesson eg elbow, chin etc. However, if you choose all the words from
the Human Body photocopy, you’ll find that the students will try to match the
numbers of letters on the board with those words on the photocopy that
contain the same number of letters. So what I did was to include difficult
words that students have encountered in previous lessons, with just a couple
of body parts.
Additionally, if there is time, you could maybe include the song “If you’re happy
and you know it, clap your hands” also to be found at

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Bring cheap candy, the PowerPoint and a couple of hundred very small
pieces of paper to class. (Faces.ppt on http://epikforum.org)
In the previous lesson, the students have been taught parts of the face.
To begin this lesson, I show a PowerPoint identifying several parts of the
face with the word written at the bottom of each slide. The students
repeat the part of the face after I say it. Then we get to the section in the
PowerPoint where there are arrows pointing to the parts of the face without
the word written at the bottom. Students can shout out what the arrow is
pointing to. Then I say the word and the whole class repeats.
Afterwards, I ask specific students who may have been a little quiet or who
appeared to not be paying very close attention to identify the parts of the
face that I point to.
Activity/Lesson
The next thing I do is announce: “Today we will draw faces!”
I go through the PowerPoint of the cartoon faces very quickly, saying, “Big
hair, small hair, big eyes, small eyes, etc.”
Then say, “Let’s do that again. Repeat after me.”
Have the students repeat each phrase after I say it.
Moving onto the next slides, I ask the students “What can you see?”
63
I turn off the big screen in the class and the students draw the face that I
describe. “Small eyes, small nose, etc.” I then walk around the classroom
to see what they have drawn and say “oohs” and “awws.”
I then turn the big screen back on and ask “Whose looks like this?”
I then say, we’ll do it again. Students each get another small piece of paper
off my desk (exercise is good).
The students draw what I describe (monitor off again). I collect the papers,
then call them all up to the big screen (monitor back on), and ask “Which one
is most like this? Which one is best?” I offer more compliments, the
students laugh, and I with some feedback from the students I offer a candy to
the drawing I select.
The next time the students draw, after reading to them what to draw (monitor
off), I ask students to tell me one part of the face that they drew (ie. Small
nose). I ask seven students and each student must tell me a different part
of the face.
I then ask for a volunteer. That student comes up and looks at the picture of
the next cartoon face and describes it to the class just as I had before. After
finishing, the student points to students and they have to say one part of the
face that they drew. If they identify something he/she said, then they say
“yes,” if not, he/she says “no.” I give the student who described the face a
candy.
I then ask for two student volunteers and they do the same thing, alternating
turns describing a part of the face. The students show their drawing to the
students around them when they finish.
Post-Activity/Review
Next is Simon Says using the parts of the face. Begin by making it easy for
the students. Say “Simon Says” for each part of the face taught, touching
that part of the face when giving the instructions. After each part of the face
64
has been touched, start trying to fool some students. If students are very
good, begin to call for students to touch two parts of the face at once. My
students really liked it when I introduced “feet” as well - they’d grab their foot
and stand on one leg (looks like a dance move). Candy is awarded to the
winner.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
The teacher shows the students a fashion magazine, catalog, or
department store advertisement. The teacher then asks the students
which styles and different articles of clothing they like and don’t like.
The teacher should give very specific questions like, “Do you like the
color of this skirt?” or “Which of these sweaters is your favorite?” In
this way, the new vocabulary can be introduced in a very natural way
with pictures to aid understanding.
Activity/Lesson
The teacher distributes and reviews an organized worksheet with 10-15
clothes vocabulary and simple clip-art style pictures of the clothes for
reinforcement of the words meanings (not included). The teacher then
writes on the board the basic sentence forms used to explain what
people wear and are wearing. For example, the teacher can write:
Girls wear …………… (skirts, dresses, etc.) and they can also write:
Boys wear ……… (suits, neckties, etc.). The teacher should also write:
He/She is wearing …………… (a white shirt and blue jeans). The
teacher has to make sure the students can form these sentences
correctly using the new clothes vocabulary they have learned.
Post-Activity/Review
The students break off into pairs and ask their partners what they are
68
wearing. The students answer each other orally and write down what
their partner is wearing in complete sentences. The students then give
presentations to the class about their partner’s clothes using the
sentence they learned, “He/She is wearing ……………...”

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
There are two optional materials needed:
- an easily adjusted analog clock for demonstrating times (many
classrooms already have prop clocks for exactly this).
- up to three dice, preferably the bigger, colorful kind.
Activity/Lesson
a. Going from student to student, ask how they are and if they are
tired, and ask what time they went to sleep yesterday, and what time they got
up today. Allow students to help each other answer. Don't worry about small
mistakes.
II. Draw an analog clock on the board (or use a real prop clock if
available):
70
"o'clock" on the hour, and not otherwise.
b. Many students will find this very easy, but all with have trouble
remembering bigger, non-round numbers. Show many different times and have
students call out the time. Correct any mistakes and have the class practice as
a whole, in unison, as many times as necessary.
III. Play the "What Time Is It?" game - this is best if you have dice
a. Have the students clear the desks from the back half of the
room.
c. Have them practice saying "what time is it, [name]?" a few times.
Make sure everyone is saying it. For now [name] should be your name.
e. Stand at the other wall, with your back to the students, and have
them shout, in unison "what time is is, [name]?" and respond with a time
("it's...") so they must walk towards you. Repeat until they are sufficiently close
and the next time respond with "it's dinner time!" and turn around and try to tag
as many students as possible before they get back to the wall.
71
f. The students you tagged now stand with you at your wall, facing
away form the other students. Choose one of the students you tagged, and
give them the three dice. Have them roll the dice in a line, the sum of the first
two will tell them what hour to say, and the last one corresponds to tens of
minutes. From my experience the students catch on right away with a just a
few examples. Make sure they say "it's [time]" rather than just "[time]".
g. Repeat the game, and let different students roll the dice. Make sure
the other students use the correct name when asking the time. Try to keep the
students from looking back. When you think it's "dinner time" just interrupt
before the student with the dice rolls.
h. The game is theoretically over when all the students are tagged,
with the last one tagged 'the winner', but I've never had enough time to finish.
Post-Activity/Review
Without fail the bell rings and the students beg to keep playing the
game. Future lessons can and should be used to review and expand upon this

ii. List of questions for game (not included).
Activity/Lesson
A. Introduce the topic of today’s lesson.
B. Get students talking and showing an interest in shopping. Who
likes shopping? What do you like buying when you go shopping?
Who likes buying clothes? What kind of shop can you buy clothes
in? Who likes shopping for shoes? Where do you go if you want
to buy shoes? Explain to students that nowadays in larger cities
you can buy a lot of things from supermarkets. However we are
not interested in talking about these today, instead we want to
concentrate on specialized shops. Now introduce some slightly
more difficult shops. Where do you go to buy medicine? Where
do you go if you want to have your hair cut?
C. Distribute photocopy of page 84 of “The New Oxford Picture
Dictionary” – Occupations. Explain to students that the words at
the bottom of the page are the people who work in these different
shops. Maybe ask the students a couple of questions as
examples like, who works in a pharmacy/ a bakery etc to make sure
they get the idea. Then ask students: What can you buy in a
bakery? What does a mechanic do? Etc. This is also a good time
78
to introduce words like beef, pork, lamb when it comes to talking
about the butcher.
D. Get students to turn over their photocopies. Ask Students if they
can remember the names of any of the shops in the picture. As
they try to remember each shop, get them to give the name of the
professional who works in each shop, and what you can buy or
have done in these shops.
E. If there is enough time, you could maybe get students to look at
photocopies again so as to practice opposite, next to, between, on
the corner eg where is the pharmacy etc.?
Post-Activity/Review
To review today’s new vocabulary and to use other occupational vocabulary,
I played the following game. I displayed a number of questions on the TV
screen, which Students could ask me, in order to guess what my new job
for today was. I explained that I could answer only “yes, no, or
sometimes”. Once a student has successfully guessed my new
occupation, that student then takes over, stands up, chooses a new
occupation, and again all remaining students ask him questions from the
list to guess his occupation.. After a while, if the level of the students is
quite good, you can remove the list of questions, and see if students can
ask the same or similar questions without prompts.

Activity/Lesson
Break the students into 4-6 groups (depending on class size)
I. With each new sport introduced, the groups are asked to
name and describe the things they see (water, a boat, a
snowboard, snow, etc.)
II. The teacher then asks the students for specific themes
(things made out of wood, colored objects, long things,
short things, etc.)
III. The group paper or whiteboard is passed from one student
to the next with each new sport, but all the students help
the one student who writes
You can also quiz the students on the spelling of the different sports
before they are shown on the screen because a picture of the sport
81
comes up before the name.
At the end of each sport, you can also ask the students if they think that
the sport is dangerous and, if so, why.
Post-Activity/Review
After all of the sports have been introduced and described, you can
then play a game with each of the groups by describing a sport and
then quizzing them on which sport is being talked about.
I. This sport is performed with a boat on a river and uses
paddles. Answer: Rafting
II. This sport uses a sail attached to a surfboard. Answer:
Windsurfing
For the answers, each group must write their answer on their group
whiteboard, or, alternatively, you could have them race up to the
chalkboard and write the answer there.
III. The first team to write the correct answer gets the points
for the round.
You can be strict or lenient on spelling (I’m strict, as my students had a lot
of difficulty with Scuba Diving, but they know it now)

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Using command verbs by themselves as a fun activity in a previous class can
be helpful but not entirely necessary. Announcing the topic the week before
can be helpful. List direction words, list command verbs, draw a diagram
showing 90 degrees and draw a diagram showing the compass points. A
sponge removed from a sponge eraser can be used to teach the command
verb “duck”. Determine the approximate compass directions for your classroom.
Activity/Lesson
Ask the students for command verbs. Write a couple on the board. Pretend to
throw something at a student and tell the student to duck. Demonstrate the
ducking action. Have the student throw something soft at you, e.g. eraser
sponge, and duck while yelling the word “duck”.
Common command verbs: Walk, write, spin, turn, sit, stand, stay, wave, sing.
Take the opportunity to teach the verb “face” and compare it to the noun “face”.
Give commands to students and help them understand the commands. Start
with stand and sit. Have the students give other students commands. Have the
students give you commands.
Teach directions. Review “right” and “left” by commanding your students. Try to
84
confuse them and catch them raising the wrong hand.
Use the verb “turn” to demonstrate “turn right” and “turn left”. Command
individual students to sit, stand, turn left and turn right. They should know 90
degrees from math class. Draw a vertical and horizontal axis and then label an
arc with 90 degrees. Use 90 degrees and then 180 degrees. Make sure they
turn the correct direction with 180 degrees. (The students seem to like the
math tie in because it is familiar to them.)
Use the verb “face” with the compass directions. Draw a compass diagram on
the chalkboard and indicate verbally the direction of each wall of the room. If
your classroom is at an angle assume it is square with the compass points and
refer to each wall as North, South, East or West for simplicity. Demonstrate
“Face East”, “Face North” etc. Command a student to face each direction.
Progress through more complex commands. Have students give each other
commands. Have the students give you commands. If a student says sit then
sit on a student’s desk.
Post-Activity/Review
Run through the verbs and directions quickly as a class. Command individual
students as a review.
85
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials:
For each grade level, consult with Korean teacher to find out some verbs
they have not been taught yet. Known vocab seems to vary from school
to school and class to class. Then, make a list of 25 action verbs they
have not yet been taught for each grade level (obviously, grade 3 will have
more difficult and obscure words than grade 1). Make a flash card with
each word in English on one side and a drawing on the back of that verb
being done. Also, make a list of verbs they should already know.
Activity/Lesson
86
C. Don’t game. Draw a picture of a cigarette with a circle/cross
through it. Ask, “what does it mean?” They say, “Don’t smoke”.
Then, using the new words’ list you just taught them, get each
student to draw a verb one of the new verbs as a ‘Don’t ____’ … It
can get pretty funny if you taught them verbs such as “marry” or
“stare”. 15 minutes.
Post-Activity/Review.
The next time you see these students, you can drill them by drawing don’t
game symbols of the verbs they learned to review.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Handout (*refer to Handout section)
The teacher introduces prepositions by explaining that these words often
indicate a direction or location in space. Referring to a list of prepositions,
the teacher calls out a command for students to perform. For example, the
teacher says, "under the desk" and the students drop under their desk; the
teacher says "on top of the desk" and students sit on top of their desk; the
teacher says "next to the desk" and students stand next to their desk; the
teacher says "around the desk" and the students wrap their arms around
their desk; the teacher says "through the desk" and the students crouch
with their arm sticking up through the area between the seat and their desk,
etc. (10 minutes)
Activity/Lesson
The teacher explains to the student that they will draw a picture according
to the commands given by the teacher. The first square is used as a
demonstration. The teacher calls up a student at a time to draw while
following a command. For example, the teacher says, “draw a three stars in
the top right corner” or “in the middle of the square, draw two tall trees”.
The teacher will call upon several students to complete the task. (10
minutes)
The students then do the same for the second square. However, the
teacher does not call students up to lead by example. He/She instead uses
89
the second square as an oral to listening assessment. The students will
know to follow the commands and draw.
(10-15 minutes)
Post-Activity/Review
The teacher will take a few minutes to check over students work. Checking
to see that commands of prepositional placement was followed.
Furthermore, the teacher reviews by referring to a list of prepositions, the
teacher calls out a command for students to perform. (10 minutes)

Pronunciation
91
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Work sheet: Work sheet containing pairs of English words that are similar
except the targeted sound (*refer to Handout section)
Website research: Find appropriate website to demonstrate the sound and
the mouth shape for sound pronunciation
(http://www.soundsofenglish.org/pronunciation/oi.htm works)
Review with co-teacher: It is important to review the pronunciation of the
words with your co-teacher, for some words there are significant regional
differences in English pronunciation and it is important to have confidence
in detecting errors with the students.
Activity/Lesson
Procedure: Students are broken into groups of 4-6 for this activity
A reward system is in place the group that gains the most points
gets a reward at the end of class( I use candy)
1. Icebreaker: Class is started with a series of short
conversation questions. Questions used today are How are you? And
What’s the Weather like? Original answers are rewarded points for their
group. No student is allowed to answer the same question twice.
2. Pronunciation activity: Students must individually say one of
the word pairs.( each student in the group must say one of the five word
pairs in the set, each pair in the set must be said at sometime for each
92
group) Each mispronunciation of a word costs the group a point. I start with
5 points, give multiple second chances to pronounce the words correctly
and re-demonstrate individually
The set of pairs needs to be demonstrated before the groups
are tested. Go through with the class the entire set three times. Then give
them practice time where you wander around and help them pronounce the
words. Repeat the entire set or any difficult words on demand.
One set of pronunciation pairs can be used as part of a lesson
successfully after accomplishing this lesson. I used three sets for this class
but one class was very eager and finished early. An overtime activity would
be to have a volunteer from each group read all of the pairs in the set and
award points if this is accomplished
Post-Activity/Review:
Review over any trouble spots with the pronunciation. Use any unexpected
difficulties to plan future pronunciation practice. Review over any difficult
groups or classes.

Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Write the word “occupation” on the board and have student guess
what it means
Give 3 easy examples:
Occupation is “President”
I’m the leader of the country
I represent for the whole nation
I decide if we should go to war or not
I can only rule for 4-6 years
The people voted for me
Occupation is “Hair Stylist”
I’m a very artistic person
I can change a look of a person
I can make her look good or bad
My best friend is the scissor
I cut lots and lots of hair
Occupation is “ Mailman”
My work deals with things from all over the world
I have to go through thousands and thousands of papers
I collect and deliver packages
I come to your home everyday to deliver good and bad
news
I work no matter if it’s sunny, rainy, or snowing
Activity/Lesson
98
Explain the rules of the game:
One person per group will pick an occupation from a hat
They are to write 5 sentences describing the occupation they’ve
picked
Then each group will take turn reading their sentences
The other groups listening will then have to guess what job it is
If they only know the occupation in Korean, then play hangman
to find out the English equivalent to the word
If a group guess it after only 2 clues: 30 pts, 3 clues: 25 pts, 4
clues: 20 pts, and 5 clues: 15 pts
If a group guesses what the occupation is but only in Korean,
they only get half the point. The other half will be given to the
group that can guess the English word
i. Then students proceed with the game
ii. The game will end only if all the occupations have been used or the
ending bell goes off
99
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
Pass out handout of the listed words
Read each words for pronunciation exercise
Let students volunteer to read all the words – if the student makes
less than 3 mistakes -> I give them a sticker
After reading the words, I let them tell me the meaning in Korean
Then I supply the English meaning and they tell me the
corresponding English word
Activity/Lesson
Divide the kids into equal amount of groups
Have the group pick a leader who is good with vocabulary words
Then the leader will do rock, scissor, and paper to see who goes
first
Whichever team goes first, a person from that group will pick a
paper which will have different categories of words and the game
starts
We play the game until all the categories have been covered which
usually last until the end of the class period
100
Lesson Plan
Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
• The teacher will compile a vocabulary list from a picture dictionary.
Sight recognition of the list will help students understand the items as
tangible and not only academic.
Activity/Lesson
• Before showing the pictures and vocabulary to the students the teacher
will require each student to phonically sound them out and
pronounce them as the game progresses.
• The students will be divided into two or three groups. Each group or
team will have a space on the board. Every student, in turn, will be
given one of the vocabulary words and asked to sound it out correctly
and spell it on the board under their designated team location. This is
the tactile sense that helps translate into memory.
• Each correct answer is tallied for their respective team and the team
with the most correct answers wins.
101
• Each incorrect answer will be met with help for a solution, but will not
accumulate points.
• If the teacher is able prizes can be awarded.
• A picture vocabulary sheet of the covered words will be distributed
among the students for memorization.
Post-Activity/Review
The teacher will prepare a “fill in the blank” exam and will compile the pictures
used and provide blanks for the students to fill in. Each answer will be given
proper weight on a 100 point system.
A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
F = 0-59%

Pre-Activity/Preparation/Materials
a) You need chalk, a chalkboard and energy.
b) This lesson is for those days when you only have a few classes, or for
the classes you will have after final exams, when the students are
finished with their books and have, at best, short attention spans. This
is a reality of teaching in Korean schools. So have fun with this one.
Make teams, award points, and give out candy. It’s up to you.
