So the 20 minute sample lesson was OK, but not spectacular. The students didn't seem to know each other and were a bit uncomfortable talking to each other. In a real class we would have been playing games to break the ice...
Anyway I didn't get the job but want to write down the questions they asked before I forget them all.
Your sample lesson was a vocabulary lesson. Do you use any other methods to teach vocabulary?
What is your approach to teaching writing?
What is your greatest strength as a teacher?
Are you willing to work many extra hours?
Why do you want to leave your current position?
A while back, why did you leave a school after only one year?
What responsibilities do you have at your current school other than teaching?
How do you assess students in your current school?
There must have been more, but I can't remember them now. What I noticed and didn't like was that they didn't allow time in the schedule for me to ask questions.

Feminism is the main discipline at Ewha, although I don't do feminism (which wouldn't go anywhere). By the way, thanks for the article which reminded me of my old days at Ewha!
