      Its sad that they havent replied by now. But from what Ive read that would be a good time. But its also good to look into how long it may take for your school to actually get your degree to you. I've head the bigger hiring time in China starts around February. If you have time it would be good to get a Tefl, I plan to .

    Hi just a question. You said that you might have to do a demo lesson. However, I was not told to prepare for this beforehand. Should I still prepare just in case they may ask me to do a demo lesson? I am aware they may also ask me questions like: What activities would you do for gerunds?

      Hi Hasnan
      It's always a good idea to be overly prepared incase you are asked to do a demo in your interview :) Our recruiters will guide you through this process though, so you don't have to worry too much about it, but having an idea of what knowledge or skills you would like to showcase is good.
      Thanks
      Erica

    Do you ask theoretical aspects of teaching during interviews?

    • @EFenglishfirst.WorkAbroad
      @EFenglishfirst.WorkAbroad  7 років тому

      Hi Onyii, we don't usually ask specific questions about the theoretical aspects. However, in the demo, we like to see some techniques used that encompass some of the theory. If the interviewee doesn't use any of these techniques, the interviewer may offer some advice, and then a section of the demo will be repeated to see how well the interviewee responds to instructions. I hope that answers your question, please get in touch if you have any more questions :)

      Hi Thina, from January onwards, we will no longer be conducting demos in our interviews. At the moment though, the demo lesson should be between 5 to 10 minutes.
