So my main employer has just asked me to do a 40 min taped demo with fake students for promotional and training purposes. Although its 40 minutes, the whole process will be 2.5 hrs (not sure why…)
But I get to choose which lesson (out of the textbook for the class which I am making a demo of) and I am supposed to ‘interact with the students even more than usual’ (its a reading and listening class, so they have a lot of independent work sprinkled between engaged activities during the lesson).
The fake student thing I find strange, but whatever
Anyone ever done something like this? If so, care to share your experiences or any advice?
I assume your work permit from this employer only covers teaching? I am not sure if a video for “promotion and training” falls under teaching?
There will be video evidence if it doesn’t.
Promotion sounds a bit open ended for me. I would ask exactly what they plan to do with the video.
The next thing you know,it is on a video billboard outside the MOE.
SK-I will be paid around 3x my usual hourly rate, even if I wasn’t though I would probably do it. This employer has been really great to me and now allofasudden is giving me a bunch of extra stuff (all welcomed, and all well paid) they first got me a work permit while still on a dependent arc, then, when I wanted to work elsehwere as well (mo money mo money mo money) they agreed to sponsor my ARC too so I could get more work permits. They are now handing me some great stuff (since I desperately need the hours).

That kinda is a good point (hopefully only kinda!) since I will, essentially, be teaching…(to fake students, lol) I will just be taped while doing so

" Fake" is part of the culture as well alive and accepted. I’d rather call the fake students “Actors”.
Question: if you discover that this footage becomes a “fake” message, which moral grounds are you gonna stand on?
40 minutes seems very long not crossing the imaginary
Related to this, I was thinking of the ?? “fake” advertising recently on ICRT in which you hear a few young pupils shout they are accepted at some leading universities. While those were also actors, they might have helped creating a lie.
