Retry: Repeat once with clearer evidence, structure, or listener support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Choose three questions for a fictional interview and explain what decision each answer will help you make.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Ask one role-specific question and one follow-up that uses information from the answer.
Success looks like: Questions are relevant, not easily answered by the advert, and show genuine evaluation of the role.
Evidence: speaking · Repeat the weakest part once after focused teacher or self-feedback.
PROF · Professional Communication
2: Presents relevant professional evidence with an appropriate tone.
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

- Run the guided rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
- Run the main task: Choose three questions for a fictional interview and explain what decision each answer will help you make.

60-minute extension
- Adapt the second question after receiving an unexpected answer.

- Compare the first and second performance and record one specific improvement.
Make it easier
Choose two questions from four role-specific options.
Make it harder
Adapt the second question after receiving an unexpected answer.
Likely difficulty
The learner may ask only about benefits, read a long list, or miss a useful follow-up.
Correction priority
