Hi teachers, I recently got an interview request from HESS Interational Education Group. As part of the interview, I am to do a teaching demonstration over Skype for the interview for 5-10 minutes. I would just like to ask those who have had Skyping interview experience like this.
The content of the demo would include a scenario where I am to teach a class of 7-8 year olds who have studied English for 4-5 months the following:
They already know the sentence pattern:
Is this a kite / watch / hat?
Yes, this is a kite / watch / hat.
No, this is not a kite / watch / hat.
Lesson will introduce the possessive adjectives HIS / HER:
Is this HIS / HER kite / watch / hat?
Yes, this is HIS / HER kite / watch / hat.
No, this is not HIS / HER kite / watch / hat.
So that is the lesson for the demo. I am thinking of a few things:
- How would I start the lesson?
- How would I teach the link to gender?
- How would I teach the link to possession?
- How would I teach "Yes" & "No" answers?
- How would I incorporate physical movements and visuals into my lessons?
- What games can we do?
- And most important of all, how would I motivate the students to participate?
I would just like a few tips from those who have had lots of experience teaching in Asia. Thank you in advance!

Before sending your resume or passport scan to anyone be sure to read this http://ChinaScamWatch.wordpress.com and as for TEFLHub.com I cannot find them registered with neither SAFEA nor SAIC so beware!
