KoreaCast#4 

June 25, 2006 

In KoreaCast #4 we discussed the English Program in Korea, or EPIK for short. On the show we spoke with 'Eternity', a long-time EPIK teacher, Steve, a 3-month-in EPIK teacher, and Kevin, who is just finishing up his second year with EPIK. We discussed the overall conditions of the EPIK teaching position, the contract, how it is interpreted, and about a petition Kevin is circling with the hopes of improving the EPIK conditions.

This week the topic up for discussion was teacher qualifications in Korea in relation to the Korea Teacher's Union's claim that most foreigners teaching in Korea are "unqualified" following two incidents of alleged sexual misconduct at a couple of English camps.
