Re: Motivating Mathayom Students

All the kids in my Matayom classes know all about how English will help them in the future but that really doesn't help. Face it these are high school teenagers. When I was in high school I never planned past my next meal/snooze/bowel movement etc. Just because they are aware that it will be good for them at some point in the distant future does not mean that they will be motivated to learn in the class you are teaching that day. I find it more of a day to day struggle .... some days it is easy some days it is hard.
