Shortcut Techniques to Enrich Business English Communication Skills (BECS) for Thai Students

Abstract

Thai students might have met more than ten English teaching methods still the majority or 75% of the upper high-school levels (M.6) and 50%
of the university students were nervous if they had to converse with foreigners. The English O-Net results of Mattayom Six in 2558 (2015) revealed 24.98/100 by average, nationwide (fair level: 12.50-27.49). Though most global business English curriculums were likely similar worldwide; still Thai students unlikely overcame such anxieties and likely embarrassed to acquire such skills. I would then propose shortcut techniques as an optional set to speedily enrich students’ business communication skills, critical thinking skills and critical proposal skills to meet the pressuring challenges of the 21st Century Skills Demands. NESTs (native English speaking teachers) and NNESTs (non-native English speaking teachers) may experiment these techniques to enrich BECS for the Thai students.
