For maximum benefit, unfinished personal examples may be completed after class. The core lesson still ends with an independent performance.

TEACHER Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
  1. Set the listener, purpose and final outcome.
  2. Use the model for noticing, not line-by-line reading.
  3. Let the learner select and personalise useful language.
  4. Run supported practice, then remove the support.
  5. Delay feedback until the message is complete.
  6. Score the final task, give one improvement point and require a focused retry.
1

Understand the required outcome

You have a short report, a budget limit and three minutes to win approval for a proportionate pilot.

Learner does: explain the listener, purpose and successful outcome in your own words.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Ask the learner to state the listener, purpose and successful outcome in plain English. Move on only when the task is clear.
2

Process the input

Route: problem → evidence → proposed pilot → cost and risk → decision request.
Rule: every benefit must connect to evidence, and every risk must have a response.
Learner does: identify the job of each part of the model before borrowing any language.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Use the model once for meaning. Ask what each part achieves; do not turn the model into a long read-aloud exercise.
3

Select decision-relevant evidence

Need
  • The problem we need to solve is…
  • The evidence shows…
Proposal
  • We propose a limited pilot that…
  • The main cost and risk are…
Decision
  • We are asking for approval to…
  • We will judge success by…
Learner does: explain the meaning of each group and create one true workplace example from every row.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Check meaning and appropriacy before correcting form. Keep only language the learner can explain and personalise.
4

Plan the response

Learner does: Select only evidence that supports the proposal.

Use keywords only. Change names, figures, reasons and actions so the message is yours.

Teacher Help · Stage 4
Give prompts or keywords, not a full script. Require the learner to make the content true for the situation.
5

Perform and respond

  1. Present the pilot and decision request.
  2. Respond to a question about cost, risk or measurement.

Retry rule: after feedback, repeat the weakest part with one changed condition.

Teacher Help · Stage 5
Take the other role or act as the reader. Change one realistic fact after the first attempt and delay correction until the message is complete.
6

Final integrated task · prove the outcome

Deliver a three-minute proposal and defend it in a two-minute question round without adding unsupported claims.

Success: complete the task independently and make the listener’s next action or understanding clear.

Teacher Help · Final assessment
Do not supply wording during the final task. Score the three Progress Focus areas, give one precise improvement point and run a shorter retry.
