Hey I hope someone can help me

I was speaking with a friend yesterday who mentioned that the Korean Board of Education has a number of lesson plans for foreign teachers to use in high schools. Unfortunately, my friend only heard this on the grape vine.

Does anyone know the link to where I can find these plans?

If not thats fair enough. Can anyone recommend a good resource for high school age English lesson plans?

Thanks in advance

When I taught conversation at a high school, I used the (awful) dialogue section of their (awful) English textbooks as a template for a lesson. Each chapter has a theme (giving directions, national heroes, going on vacation, being a good friend) or key phrase that you can build an activity around.

Here's how my lessons usually went. Warm up for 5, introduce the target language/theme for 10 using a PPT, hand out the worksheets (public school admins LOVE worksheets), put 'em in groups of 4 and make your rounds. Have a few groups stand up and demonstrate the target lanugage, correct their pronunciation and grammar, show them a video related to the target language...rinse, repeat.

If you're teaching each class once a week, this works out fine.

Are THESEwhat you mean? They are elementary but I've never heard of the H.S. ones.... However, I do have a nice handbook which I helped produce for H.S. teachers and there are lots of lesson plans in it. I will put it online shortly...got to dig for the online version...

Also, Look under Resources - Korea on EFL Classroom 2.0 for lots of stuff for H.S. In particular I recommend the Activities for Supplementing the H.S. textbook. Chalk full of good, contextual stuff... Get it here...
