用心智圖學英文+抽獎活動
什麼是心智圖？這與英語學習有什麼關係？
What is mind mapping? What does it have to do with English learning?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
簡而言之，心智圖是以圖表的方式，視覺地呈現並組織資訊。在英語學習裡，它時常被用於幫助學生腦力激盪與主意間的連結。然而，心智圖也有助於學生學習詞彙，並連接片語及完整概念。例如，核心主題為經濟學 (economics)，那麼兩個主要的分支可以是政府政策 (government policy) 與市場經濟 (market economy)。在市場經濟 (market economy) 中，學生可以學到買與賣 (buying and selling)、供給與需求 (supply and demand)、消費者行為與消費 (consumer behavior and consumption)，以及其他相關片語。如此一來，學生可以迅速聯想與連結這些單字與概念。
如果他們聽到或讀到像供給與需求 (supply and demand)這樣的片語，他們自然會對消費 (consumption)、價格 (price)、替代品 (substitute goods) 等相關資訊有所準備。此一能力可增進閱讀與聽力的理解力，因為在讀到或聽到這些詞彙時，他們知道哪些資訊將會出現。當學生遇到新資訊，他們也會有先備知識與字彙作為基礎，幫助他們找到關聯並加以理解。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
在口說與寫作中，心智圖可以包含:
★句子的開頭 (sentence starters)
一般而言 (generally speaking)、在這種情況下(in this context)、更具體來說 (to be more specific)
★過渡片語 (transitional phrases)
另一個原因是 (another reason is that)、另一方面 (on the other hand)、誠然，無可否認 (admittedly）
★與主題有關的語塊 (theme-based lexical chunks)
牛市 (a bullish market)、持續的經濟增長 (sustained economic growth)、繁榮的經濟 (a thriving economy)
在有意義的主意塊架構下，單詞、片語、詞彙語法的這種連接，能使學生更精準且自動地進行口說與書寫。與其以獨立的單詞來組成句子，學生將得以使用固定的語塊（有意義且更完整的概念）。例如，學生可能想表達「台灣今年的經濟成長率修正為1.56％」。他們通常會將此一想法逐字翻譯，並翻出像是「Taiwan's economy grow will be fixed to 1.56% this year」的句子。當學生須先逐字翻譯單詞時，此一過程既費力又錯漏百出，即便能夠翻譯，他們也沒有時間在自然語言及限時寫作中，思索語法規則的細微差異。使用語塊可以減少這些問題。舉例來說，使用固定語塊作為句子的輸出，其樣貌可能如下：
Economics
Taiwan's GDP/economic growth (set chunk) this year is projected to reach (set chunk) 1.56 percent (data).
Taiwan's official statistics bureau (content words) has lowered its forecast (set chunk) for the country's economic growth (set chunk) to 1.56 percent this year (data).
Taiwan's government has revised its GDP growth forecast (set chunk) for 2020 to 1.56 percent (data).
Taiwan's economy, a key part of (set chunk) the global technology supply chain (content words), is expected to grow 1.56% this year (data).
★★★★★★★★★★★★
儘管如此，心智圖跟其他學習方式與工具一樣，並非沒有缺點。倘若學習者從未接觸這些，他們將完全無法憑一己之力想出單詞、片語及概念。當學生毫不了解基本的經濟學概念時，他們該如何使用心智圖來學習經濟學？此外，對於沒有詞彙基礎的初學者來說，心智圖可能涵蓋了過多的資訊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
因此，本課程旨在以心智圖提供學生一個得以與其他方式及策略相結合的學習方法。新詞彙的出現將伴隨著學生所熟悉的資訊，以協助他們建立連結（例如：消費 consumption→新單字；購買商品 buy goods →舊單詞）。所有詞彙都使用主題式英語教學，同時也結合了其他方式，包括（但不限於）字根 (roots)、搭配詞 (collocation)、詞彙語法 (lexical grammar)以及學科內容知識(content knowledge)。此外，也將教授其他策略，來幫助學生成為自主學習者，他們可以在不同的情境中，思考並決定最好的學習方式。心智圖並非我們詞彙學習的萬靈丹。它是一項能夠幫助我們組織想法，並運用多種方式進行學習的工具。

Continue ReadingThailand in Foreign Investors View / Investman
Many people say that Thailand is not a major target for foreign investors like in the past because we are losing some competitiveness compared to other countries.

How is this? If it's true today, how should we prepare to bring Thailand back to the important target of foreign investors. Investman will tell you about it.

If you talk about foreign investment to be easily understood, let's split into 2 types.
1) Foreign Direct Investment
2) Investment in the financial market, which in this case emphasizes on investment in the stock exchange of foreign investors.

These 2 sections are important to reflect how much foreign investors are interested in investing in Thailand.

Foreign Direct Investment (Foreign Direct Investment or FDI) is a key factor that affects economic growth of the country.

As FDI's coming in, it doesn't only cause investment, employment, but also as portraying and technology development. It will eventually cause the country's economy to grow, average income and quality of life for domestic population.

However, it seems that FDI value that entered Thailand in the last 10 years is likely decreasing.
Year 2010-2014 FDI worth entering Thailand on average 321,000 million baht.
Year 2015-2019 FDI worth entering Thailand on average 247,000 million baht.

But, you know, in the past 10 years, FDI that entered ASEAN nationwide from 1.3 trillion baht to 4.7 trillion baht. This has resulted in the economy of many countries in this region to grow remarkably. Over the years.

The average GDP of many neighboring countries such as Cambodia, Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, grows an average of 6-7 % per year. Or, if it's simply explained, the economic value of the country grows around 10 years.

While in the past 10 years, Thailand's GDP grew an average of 3.5 % or half of its economic growth in neighboring countries.

This may be due to several of our structural issues changing.

Thai elderly population proportion, increasing continuously, will diminish long-term consumption and labor number of countries and result in less investment necessities that will hit employment and eventually slow the economy down.

Population in labour age is decreasing, leading countries to rely on labour to drive economic economies like Thailand.

Nowadays, about 1 in 3 of Thailand's workforce is in agriculture and agriculture sector. It's still in the manufacturing industry, selling. All of them are mainly labor-dependent industries.

Doesn't include any other issues like
Political unrest issues
Readiness of basic utility system
Corruption problem
A shortage of skilled workers that are barriers to developing countries.

We must admit that these matters not only decrease FDI value in Thailand during the past, but it will also slow down the future economic growth trend, and it will also slow down the interest of foreign investors on the Thai stock market.

Do you know that in between 2010-2019 or in 10 years, foreign investors sell collectible shares higher than 512,000 million Baht?

While the first 6 months of this year
Foreign investors have sold Thai stocks for over 216,000 million baht.

The interesting thing is that for those who think that foreign investors have sold a lot of stocks in the stock market. There may be a few stocks left. Then we may have to re

Because even the proportion of the stock holding of foreign investors in Thai stock market per cap. That's reduced from 37 % during 2012 to 30 % in 2019, but the remaining value is higher than 5 trillion baht.

And selling shares of foreign investors is one reason why the Thai stock market seems to go nowhere, especially in the last 6 years.

In summary, both foreign direct investments (FDI) will affect Thailand's real economic sector is decreasing compared to the past and foreign investors are also selling securities because they see the country's economic growth trend seems less interesting.

Therefore, our Thailand doesn't just require investment, improve performance, technology, and innovation to create value-added industries and reduce labor-oriented industries like before to help increase nation's income.

But it has to be including solving problems, labour problems, lack of skills, corruption problems, peaceful, politically accumulated for long time.

If this is like an eastern tale, it would be similar to a rabbit tale and a famous turtle that in the last decades, Thailand used to be a country where the economy grew fast and overtook many countries, especially the neighboring countries far away.

It looks like we're about to finish and leave our rivals without dust.
But then one day, when we run fast, we run slower, start walking, and don't stop walking while our rivals run faster.

Even today we may be ahead of many countries.
But no one can guarantee that
In the future, we will not be overtaken as in tales..
