| I have an interview this weekend for a public school position with the SMOE and was wondering what are some common interview questions that I might expect. Thanks |

Do you like kids?
How do you control a classroom?
How do you teach? What is your teaching style?
Typically the questions are not complex but they are meant in all seriousness and your answers should reflect the complexity of the question and the English level of the interviewer.
Don't make long and convoluted answers cause they probably won't understand them (Unless it is an FT doing the interview).
Use the KISS principle... Keep It Simple S_-_-_ . |

| What exactly does that mean, 'what is your teaching style'? When I first came to Korea and looked for jobs in person, I heard that question as well, but since I never had any experience, I didn't know how to answer it. Does it mean how do you usually go about teaching your classes? |

Are you a lecturer, stand at the front and just talk.
Are you interactive, walk around and ask questions?
Are you inovative, do you do active/interactive things with your students to get more participation?
Do you get involved in the activities and with your students or do you stand by the side/in front and just "supervise"?
ARE YOU A FUN TEACHER? Are you a boring teacher? Are you dull as dirt? |

Good School:
What is your teaching philosphy?
How would you handle discipline problems?
What are you feelings on being the only foreigner?
Have you ever taught 40 or more students?
etc. |
