This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.

ACTIVITIES

At the beginning of the lesson, students come up with reasons why companies employ people in different parts of the world. Then, they look at five ideas and match them with the statements that expand them. They also make sure they understand the expressions in bold in the statements (e.g. remuneration discrepancies, on the payroll, pay transparency). Students also talk about the issues they agree with or relate to personally. Next, they look at the approaches to compensation described in the article and discuss some questions to provide their opinions to assess the effectiveness of the approaches. Finally, students read some other ideas related to compensation that some companies adopt and comment on them.

Questions

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
