I got an offer for a job at this location paying 2.4 million Won a month. I have tried to find out more about this "school" but want to know what the teachers think about working at this location. Any information you can give would be helpful. Thanks!

From what I deducted from the website, the school is actually like an English amusment park, where the kids get to pretend to be at an airport, or other location. Are there still regular classes or is the whole job just role-playing scenarios?

*edited because I can't believe I used the wrong "there"

As a rule of thumb for English Villages, it's closer to being a camp counselor than an English teacher. Conventional teaching time will be at a minimum, most of the time you'll be leading kids through situation-themed activities in an English immersion setting.

There is variation among them though. Try to find a Facebook group relating to that business name and message a few of the foreigners in it if you want to get information specific to that location.
