TEACHER Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
- Set the listener, purpose and final outcome.
- Use the model for noticing, not line-by-line reading.
- Let the learner select and personalise useful language.
- Run supported practice, then remove the support.
- Delay feedback until the message is complete.
- Score the final task, give one improvement point and require a focused retry.
1
Understand the workplace outcome
A weekly project meeting is already in progress. You need to enter at the right moment, connect your point to the discussion and hand the floor back clearly.
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
Study the model exchange
Chair: We still need to decide who will test the revised form.
You: Could I add one point here? The support team sees the form every day, so I suggest that Mina tests it first.
Chair: Good point. Mina, would that work for you?
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
Build the phrase path
| Enter the discussion |
- Could I add one point here?
- Can I come in on that?
|
| Connect your point |
- That relates to…
- Building on what Ana said…
|
| Return the floor |
- That is all from me.
- Would anyone like to add to that?
|
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
Guided role play
Learner does: Choose a meeting topic and wait for a natural pause.
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
Change one condition and respond
- Add one relevant point with a reason or example.
- Respond to one follow-up and return the floor.
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 role play · prove the skill
Join a new six-turn meeting without a script. Take one appropriate turn, connect it to the previous speaker and make the next discussion move clear.
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.
