I have an interview scheduled and I've heard many things about CDI (mixed reviews).

I have an interview scheduled for the Seongbuk branch and I was wondering if anyone has info or experience with them.

I've tried looking around but there's not much about this branch in particular.

Thanks.

Try to find another school/factory. Someone will pop up and say that their branch is special, but it is most likely one of their lurkers posing as a happy teacher.

I posted this in another Chungdahm thread, but it might be useful for the OP if they are considering teaching there.

Quote:
They use Samsung Galaxy Note tablets instead of textbooks.

Teachers use their tablet to control the lesson and students use theirs to follow along and complete the activities. The teacher's tablet is connected via wifi to a big TV at the front of the classroom. Teachers also have the ability to disable the students' tablets so that they focus on the TV and what the teacher is talking about.

The methodology is very much based around media and discussion. There are videos and images used to facilitate discussion among students. They are also really big on teamwork and group projects. Students will have some sort of group task to tackle and typically get around 2 weeks to work together to solve it. They must then use media and apps on their tablets to create a presentation.

Chungdahm is also pretty big on TOEFL test preparation. Even at lower levels, teachers are encouraged to integrate test taking skills into reading or listening passages. Thus you will often find students with generally weak proficiency still understand how to find main ideas, major details and identify certain TOEFL question types.
