The original plan was ___.
A Voice Message with Plans
Listen to a realistic voice message in stages and identify what changed, what stayed the same, and what response is required.
Your goal
By the end of this lesson, you can identify the time, place, change, and required response in a short voice message about plans.
Why this listening matters
Train the learner to understand the situation, collect useful spoken evidence and respond without depending on a transcript. The transcript stays closed until after the first listening attempt.

Use the final independent attempt to apply the 0–2 scoring guide consistently.
30-minute lesson route
- Confirm the observable outcome and connect it to one real learner need.
- Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
- Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner.
- Run the guided rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
- Run the main task: Listen to two messages with one revised detail in each. Complete a response that confirms only the final information.
- Record focused feedback, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.
Engduo Audio: Licensed voices prepared for this lesson. Audio never starts automatically. Use the transcript after the first listening attempt.
1. Listen for the situation
Look at the visual, keep the transcript closed and listen once for the speaker, situation and main purpose.
- original plan
- changed detail
- reason
- required response

Hi Nita, it’s Ben. We planned to meet at the station at six, but my train is delayed. Could we meet at the café next to the station at six thirty instead? Please message me to confirm.

Transcript — open after listening
Change of plan for tomorrow: the class is still at ten, but we’re using Room 305, not Room 205. Please tell Arun because he may not see this message.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Keep the transcript closed. Set one gist question, play the audio once without pausing and accept a short answer before discussing details.
2. Build a listening map
Identify the meaning categories or signal phrases that will help you recognise the important information.
The new time/place is ___.
The reason for the change is ___.
The speaker wants me to ___.
I’ll confirm by ___.
Let me check that I understood.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Preview only the categories or signal words needed for the task. Do not explain every line or reveal the answers.
3. Listen again and collect evidence
Replay only as needed. Record the exact details that support each answer, then compare before opening the transcript.
- Listen once for the situation.
- Listen again for the four detail boxes.
- Compare notes before opening the transcript.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Play again at natural speed. Ask what exact word, number, reason or change supports each answer; replay only an uncertain section.
4. Complete the listening task
Use the spoken evidence to choose, organise, clarify or respond to the real communication need in this lesson.
Listen to two messages with one revised detail in each. Complete a response that confirms only the final information.
Teacher Help · Stage 4
Require the learner to use the collected evidence to complete the lesson outcome. Prompt for clarification only when meaning breaks down.
5. Final practice: Listen and respond independently
Complete a fresh or less-supported listening attempt, give the required response and retry the weakest detail after one focused prompt.
Record or deliver a 25-second voice message that changes one plan and clearly requests a response.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, or less support.
Teacher Help · Stage 5
Use a fresh item or remove visible support. Observe without interrupting, give one listening-focused correction and ask for a short retry.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Listen to a new message and state the final time, place, reason, and action.
Success looks like: All four final details are correct and the learner ignores the information that was replaced.
Evidence: speaking · Repeat the weakest part once after focused teacher or self-feedback.
LIST · Listening Comprehension
2: Understands and uses the required spoken evidence accurately.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
CM · Communication Management
2: Organises ideas, turns, clarification and response coherently.
1: Demonstrates the skill after one focused prompt, correction or self-repair.
0: Cannot yet demonstrate the skill clearly enough to complete the stated outcome.
Use these scores after the independent attempt. Give one specific success note and choose one next practice focus.
Teacher Help · Stage 6
Score the stated Progress Focus from the independent attempt. Name one successful listening behaviour and one precise next practice focus.

Teacher Guidance · How to conduct this class
30-minute must-do route
- Confirm the observable outcome and connect it to one real learner need.
- Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
- Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner.
- Run the guided rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
- Run the main task: Listen to two messages with one revised detail in each. Complete a response that confirms only the final information.
- Record focused feedback, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.
60-minute extension
- Use two corrections and require a concise confirmation message.
- Switch roles or conditions so the learner transfers the language rather than repeating the same answer.
- Compare the first and second performance and record one specific improvement.
Make it easier
Show the four-box grid before playing the message and allow three listens.
Make it harder
Use two corrections and require a concise confirmation message.
Likely difficulty
The learner may record the first time mentioned and miss the corrected information.
Correction priority
Prioritise final-detail accuracy and the requested action.
Thai support rule
Keep the Thai panel closed unless examples, visuals, gestures, replay, and simpler English do not allow progress. Return to English after the key distinction is clear.
Progress record
Use the 0–2 guide after the independent attempt and identify one recurring need for the next lesson.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt.
