Aaahh! Thank you so much for posting this! I have my interview very soon and I was super nervous before coming across your channel. You have been such a big help by posting videos about the EPIK process and giving all of us interview tips! You are such an amazing human being. As I said before, I love your energy and I told you that I would be one of the first ones to watch your video when it came out!!! 🥺🥹😭💕
Ahhhhhhh what a lovely comment😭🥰 Thank you so much!!!! I’m glad I got to help you in a little way😃 Best of luck with your interview - let me know how it goes🌻
Thanks as always for the inside scoop - I struggled with the lack of response from the interviewer when I did my interview initially but these are nice succint tips ❤❤❤
Thanks for another great set of tips!✨ Maybe your next video can be about how your first month went (challenges, getting adjusted to work, expectations vs reality) or just how you spend an average weekend in Daegu?
@@itsalexmark Thank you so much. My interview was 50 minutes! The person that interviewed me was the sweetest person ever. Now I wait and see if I passed. Your videos have been super informational so I appreciate you posting about your experience.
Hi Alex! Were you able to do your demo on the lesson plan you submitted on your application? Or did your interviewer assign you a random topic? Did you prep for both scenarios beforehand just in case? Love your videos and tips! I find them so helpful and am so glad you are shining your radiant light ☀️ in the world! 💕
Hey Lisa! Ahhh thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad that you have found the video useful! I personally did my lesson demonstration on the lesson plan that I had already prepared :) Best of luck with your interview!
@@itsalexmark Update: Guess who passed with flying colors!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m so excited that I’ll be coming to Korea! Thanks so much for all the fun and helpful tips you provided in your videos! It gave me the confidence to be my bubbly and engaging self in my lesson demo, and my hard work paid off! 🙌🎉🥳
Thank you so much for another super helpful video!! 😊 when demonstrating your lesson did you run through the whole thing from start to finish or just a certain section like the production stage for example?
So personally for me, I just did a very small section of the lesson. I think it would be difficult to fit a 40 minute lesson in to the space of a couple of minutes - but whatever works for you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@itsalexmark Hi! This is really helpful - what section of the lesson did you do? Did you tell the interviewer beforehand you are just going to do this section? Thanks :)
@itsalexmark Hello. I selected middle school intermediate level-personality adjectives for my EPIK application. I'm worried about other topics or what they can ask for my demo lesson. Any other tips?
Hey Kalyssa! So in terms of lesson demonstration, I just used the lesson plan that I submitted with my application so simply just used this to prepare. You should do the same with your middle school application too. If you prepare well, you will be absolutely fine! it's only 5 minutes too :)
Hey :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You can do whatever works best for you as long as you are in the camera frame! Personally, I just remained seated, and it worked perfectly fine. I believe most people stay seated :) Best of luck!
Where does the material for lesson come from? Is it provided or something you think of on the fly? Im debating epik vs hagwon and this demonstration part is kind of confusing.
Hey Chet! At public school, we usually follow the schedule provided by the English textbooks. I use my time at my desk to create lesson plans surrounding the lessons in the text book. I've heard, although can not confirm, that Hagwons often have the lesson materials planned in advance so you do physically more teaching, but less time actually preparing the lessons (as they're already done). I hope this helps!
Hi Alex! Should we have actual flashcards for props or do you think it'd be fine if i printed my "flashcards" that i made and that's what I'd show? Also, does the interviewer stop you when time is up or do they actually wait for us to conclude? I kind of a bad timing of gauging how long/short i talk
Hello :) Printing your own flashcards is absolutely fine - don't get spending any money on 'actual' flashcards though haha! And in all honesty - I can't quite remember! It might be useful to have a timer off camera which you can glance at just to make sure that you're sticking to the time though :) Hopefully this helps and best of luck with everything!
i am from india i saw that i can apply if i have teaching license So I wanted to ask which degree will be valid in teaching department I mean B.Ed or D.Ed or any other separate certification will work in education field??? I'm so confused please tell me
Hey! Unfortunately, I'm not too sure about the requirements of applicants from India. There should be lots of information that can be found on Google. Sorry I can't help you! Best of luck!
Morning Alex! Hope you don’t mind the message. In relation to the demo portion and acting out a specific part; Is the demo lesson based around the lesson plan you’ve uploaded as part of the EPIK application? If not do you know if we’d be allowed to act out that portion of the lesson we’ve uploaded/created - thank you for the videos 🙌🏽
Hey Daniel - hope you're good! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! In terms of the lesson demonstration, you can do this on anything. The one you summitted as your lesson demonstration or something completely different! Just make sure you do it for the age range you want to teach at :) Hope this helps and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. No bother at all! Have a great day and best of luck with your application!
Your video was really good and helpful. But I recommend that when you're making tips and tricks video devide it parts like in at 5.50 second rite tittel in description or I recommend a video. th-cam.com/video/Pb_qEywDmO4/w-d-xo.html In her intro and other stuff topic is really specific I hope this really helpful for you.. One more time.I appreciate your efforts i want make itmore helpful.. That's and keep it up and plzzz uplod appartment tour. I like appartment tour videos very much.

Great video! Was just wondering, are you expected to remain seated for your demo or can you standup? Thank you so much!

@@itsalexmark thanks Alex you’re the best and thank you again for replying. Can’t wait to put on my Oscar worthy performance during the demo ha! 😹
What part of the lesson should you demo?
Any part is fine! 'd recommend focusing on one activity - introducing it, presenting it, and concluding it :)
@@itsalexmark tysm for the fast reply my interview is literally tomorrow LOL and ty for the videos ❤️
