The EPIK Sample Lesson Plan or Demo Lesson Plan is a component of the EPIK application where applicants construct their own lesson outline for a grade level and English subject matter of their choice.

The sample lesson plan is used by EPIK to see the lesson planning and teaching potential for candidates, and if they have prior knowledge of teaching. The sample lesson plan is attached to the EPIK application upon submission.

What Should the Focus of the EPIK Sample Lesson Plan Be?

Applicants are given the freedom to create a lesson about whatever topic they want as long as it involves the development of the English language and is conversation-based. Applicants may create the outline of the lesson and may attach supplemental teaching materials such as PowerPoint presentations, games, or worksheets. The lesson must be 100% original and contain no previously published material.

EPIK Sample Lesson Plan Requirements

The lesson plan will be split into six sections.

  1. Previous Class discusses what the previous class was about and how it will lead to the next section.
  2. The Objective section will focus on what Key Expressions and Vocabulary will be used during the lesson.
  3. Introduction focuses on how you will start the class.

    • Production: How the students utilize what they have learned
  5. Conclusion discusses how you will conclude and evaluate your students.
  6. Lastly, Next Class will discuss what the next class topic will be.
