Re: Motivating Mathayom Students

every year now near the start of the school year i hand out a copy of BKK Post classifieds to my Mathayom 3 students and get the kids to circle every job that requires English skills for the job... After we have established that more than 70% of the jobs advertised require at least some English ability, we move on to the difference in salaries..
I always have a few good examples of the difference in salaries paid to people with some English to people with little or no English for the same job.. seems to motivate most of my students... the ones not motivated by this are wasters now and will be wasters in 20 years time but with regrets....
