Motivating Mattayom students aaaaaarrrrrrgg fok knows I got loads of trouble in that department,
but what seems to work for most Mattayoms especially the lower ones, is simply to give points for everything they do, I mean everything!
tell em it's for point and they all scramble to the front to be the first to do whatever you told them to do for that point, they are point addicts!
another teacher used candy as a reward too.
other than that they don't give a shit very frustrating I've tried a couple of things, but nothing ever really seemed to work so I just gave up preparing cool stuff.

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....

I'll try that, but to be fair, bkk post is an English newspaper, so if your looking for people with English skills, advertising in an English newspaper would be my first bet.
