No. In the classroom your classes should be conducted entirely in English. You will not be expected to teach in an English-Korean, bi-lingual environment. The students have bi-lingual classes with their Korean teacher on grammar topics so your class is to provide an entirely English speaking conversation environment. Also, Korea has taken amazing steps to include Romanized / English translations on most all street signs, businesses, bus routes and subway maps. However, introducing yourself to the language and picking up at least a little bit of conversational Korean will only help you in your daily life ie: shopping, traveling, restaurants, etc.

Most Koreans you will meet are eager to practice their English skills when they meet a foreigner. But on the same hand they simply adore it when a foreigner takes an interest in their language and you'll certainly make friends for life if you able to do this.

NOTE: Korvia Suggest you not to speak Korean during your class because co-teacher won't happy if you speak fluent Korea during English class
