At the high school level you have more options.

Option one: Use the EPIK English conversation book that they distribute. They do in Gangwon Province, so I assume they do in others.

Option two: Get your hands on the English textbooks used by the Korean teachers and form/extract lessons from those. For the record, I've looked at some and they have dedicated parts of each chapter to speaking and the like that are completely skipped over (at least at my school).

Option three: make your own original lessons and supplementary materials.

Personally, last year I did only option 3. This year I meet with 2nd grade students 2x a week, so I will use my own materials for 1 time, the EPIK book for the other time.
