I was told by another poster that the GEPIK program supply pre-made lesson plans for their elementary and middle school teachers.

I've had a look on their website but not really sure what i'm looking for.

I'm interested in having a look at what they expect to be taught to each each group and what level of supplementing would be required.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Here are the lesson plans that accompany theh textbooks for elementary school grades 3 through 6: http://www.gochang.es.kr/gepik/zboard.php?id=c1

I don't teach middle school, and I haven't heard anything about standardized lesson plans.

Is GEPIK the only one doing this or do the other provinces do that same thing?

Gangwon province also has a program - Schwa posted a little about it a couple of weeks ago.

As for GEPIK - it depends entirely on the school. I'm at a middle school and we use a standard textbook with a full set of lesson plans - but my coteachers have divided lessons up in an intuitive way and as a result I don't need any plans - it's entirely role play for each lesson.

Exactly.

I've had a review of some of the elementary ones. A little dry but a good basis to work from and a very good idea of what is the students are expected to learn/be learning.

Would be interesting to see what the Middle School ones are like or if there are any available.

There is nothing worse than having to design a curriculum as you go or even worse decipher a curriculum that has been translated from another language to English by somebody who isn't full proficient in English.

If anybody has any middle school ones can they post a link please.
