The announcement is about ___.
A School Announcement
Listen to a realistic school announcement for purpose, changed information, time, place, items to bring, and the required next action.
Your goal
By the end of this lesson, you can identify event, time, place, and required action.
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.
TF16 · Education, Learning & ProgressProgress Focus
Progress focus: LISTCM
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 realistic learner need.
- Use the visual and first audio or text for meaning before explaining language.
- Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner and this task.
- Run the supported rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
- Run the main task: Reconstruct an original fictional club announcement and create a complete action card for an absent classmate.
- Record focused evidence, give one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most, 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.
- purpose
- changed detail
- time and place
- required action

Transcript — open after listening
Please bring a pencil and a small box. If you cannot attend, send a message to Ms Green before lunch.
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 time has changed from ___ to ___.
Meet at ___.
Remember to bring ___.
If you cannot attend, ___.
The next action is ___.
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.
- Predict which details an announcement usually contains.
- Listen once for purpose and again for five details.
- Compare notes and separate old information from new information.
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.
Reconstruct an original fictional club announcement and create a complete action card for an absent classmate.
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.
Hear a new announcement twice, record six details, then give a 30-second spoken summary without reading the transcript.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, 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: State the purpose, changed detail, and next action accurately.
Success looks like: The summary preserves the important change and tells the listener what to do.
Evidence: listening · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most.
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 realistic learner need.
- Use the visual and first audio or text for meaning before explaining language.
- Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner and this task.
- Run the supported rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
- Run the main task: Reconstruct an original fictional club announcement and create a complete action card for an absent classmate.
- Record focused evidence, give one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.
60-minute extension
- Play once only, add one distractor, and require a message for a classmate.
- Change the role, information, listener, or constraint so the learner transfers the skill rather than repeating the same answer.
- Compare the first and second performance and record one specific improvement.
Make it easier
Provide a six-box listening grid with icons.
Make it harder
Play once only, add one distractor, and require a message for a classmate.
Likely difficulty
The learner may record every word but miss the corrected time or final action.
Correction priority
Prioritise purpose, changed information, and action over spelling every detail.
Thai support rule
Keep the Thai panel closed unless examples, visuals, replay, reformulation, and simpler English do not allow progress. Explain only the key distinction, then return to English.
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 with fewer visible prompts.
