Why is the ESL teacher salary still ranging at $2000

Location The Livingroom, Haebangchon Time 18:00 (February 20th) Participants Ketan, Kayla, John, Jess, Cate, Stevie, Jane Agenda Why is the ESL salary still ranging at $2000 Status quo: English teachers salary in Korea. Why it’s still ranging at 2k: 1. Social norms Korean employers are used to paying this amount for a starting teacher. 2. Nobody thinks that they can request for more pay. 3. Lack of experience. 4 . Difficult to accentuate resume. How to match resume with each employers’ requirements Currently in Korea, native English teachers are, on average, making 2 million won each month, despite the fact that it was roughly the same twenty years prior. As ESL teachers, we are making it our goal to assist native teachers in making more wage for their services in compliance with the in fluctuation of society’s economic status. Presently, there are several issues that are hindering teachers from being applicable for increased pay starting with the current social norms, lack of experience, and the difficulties that accompany writing a presentable resume. To begin, social norms have become an issue concerning how employers view the value of native English teachers. Employers now believe that teachers are worth approximately 2 million won each month and this belief has only become a social normative based on the assumption that teachers willingly work for that sum and do not request for increased wages. This has been identified as a problem because it upholds the assertion that teachers should continue putting in the same amount of effort, increasing workloads, and additional tasks to be completed for the same amount of money in an increasing economic environment. This can be addressed by informing employers as well as native teachers that their skills are more valuable and deserving of increased wages. If we can accomplish this factor, then we can ensure that teachers have a brighter future while earning higher wages. Secondly, the primary reason why teachers either do not feel qualified to request for higher wages or feel that they are unable to do so are merely because of lack of teaching experience. Whether it be teachers who have taught previously or are anticipating their first teaching career, each individual needs to have an understanding of the classroom atmosphere as well as the content they are to instruct. Many applying teachers have not yet stepped into a classroom, let alone been responsible of the education of a selected group of children. This is essential because each teacher is required to teach varying values of the English language, be it from literary perspectives or grammatical endeavours; teachers should be showing that they are capable of handling a group of children as instructed. The final identified reason why native teachers in Korea are unable to increase their wage is because of the difficulties that ensue while constructing a suitable resume. Many teachers are not sure of what they should accentuate within their teaching resume due to the many skills or awards that are available for teachers to present. This problem stems from which specifications employers are demanding and what they should require of their prospective employees; specific teaching styles, methods, or without experience: how the teacher plans to conduct the class. The best way to overcome this barrier is to research the school being applied for and trying to match the writings for that specific career to the teacher most desirable for the instructing position. This dilemma involving native English teachers’ salaries can be solved by addressing the aforementioned issues of normative teacher valuing, lack of teaching experience, and the difficulties following correct resume construction. As ESL teachers, it is a responsibility to help secure our positioning and reward our endeavours with wage increases. By focusing on these obstacles, we can ensure a more sustainable employment and more benefitting financial stability.

(Ex: Image of Kimchi is shown with the statement ‘Kimchi tastes so good!’ and teachers use the target language to express if they agree or disagree, followed by answering why they agree or disagree). We will then ask a few students if they agree or disagree with the same question the teacher has just answered. 2. After multiple slides of different images and questions, students will be given a gap-fill worksheet similar to what was practiced on the PPT to work on individually. Production Students internalize/master and use language Describe the activities that show how students will use language to communicate with peers or how students will use reviewed language to communicate with their peers Time: 15-20m 1.

During the PowerPoint, it is essential to present the new dialogue as well. Elicit dialogue from students when presenting new food. Procedure Details Practice: Time: 10-12mins Open the textbooks to page(number). Begin reading “The World’s Street Food”.

The teacher will present the students with example dialogue on the board so that they can resort back to it for help. ‌ Procedure ‌ Procedure Assessments or Other Work (Time: N/A ) If there is extra time, each group will present the orders that they have taken from the other groups. This will be a good way to practice and to teach more new dialogue. Example: What did he order? He(name) ordered the pizza and French fries. ▪ Anticipated Problems & Solutions: -The students are having more trouble than expected with the dialogue Solution: Spend more time on the dialogue instead of doing the True/False worksheet. -Students are unable to create a proper menu because their English level is too low. Solution: Make the groups before class has begun so that every group has a high, medium, and low-level student.
