Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
This is a Guided Speaking lesson, not a reading lesson. Keep examples visible only long enough for the learner to select useful language. Accept clear A2 language, correct after a speaking round and keep learner talk time above 70%.
| Time | Teacher does | Student does | Required result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | Explicitly allow a fictional or anonymous situation. Do not ask for private details. | Choose one safe situation. Name the main feeling. | You can state the event, feeling and helpful action in keywords. |
| 3–8 | Check meaning before pronunciation. If the learner uses very general good/bad, offer two precise choices and ask which one fits. | Choose one feeling before the helpful action. Choose one cause frame. | The feeling matches the event and the change is clear. |
| 8–12 | Accept more than one answer when the learner gives a clear reason. Keep the focus on meaning. | Match three short situations to a feeling. Explain one choice with because. | Your feeling word matches the cause. |
| 12–17 | Prompt with the four labels only. Do not require the learner to use a true event. | State the event briefly. Name the feeling and cause. | The listener can explain what happened, how you felt and what helped. |
| 17–21 | Model empathy, not therapy. Accept “That sounds difficult” plus one relevant question as successful A2 interaction. | Give the four-part account. Answer one supportive teacher question. | You both tell and respond without changing to unrelated advice. |
| 21–27 | Change only one condition. Ask “How did that change the feeling?” after the second version. | Tell Version A. Choose Version B or C. | The second account changes logically when the support changes. |
| 27–30 | Score meaning and connection, not personal disclosure. Give one precise feedback point and a short retry. | Speak for 45–60 seconds using event, feeling, cause and helpful action/result. Answer one unprepared supportive follow-up. | The listener understands both the emotional change and what helped. |
