How to run Stage 1
Confirm the observable outcome and connect it to one realistic learner need.
2. Build useful language
Choose the phrases that help you complete the task; do not memorise a full script.
The time marker points to ___.
The noun is modified by ___.
The subject and verb must agree.
This preposition completes the collocation.
My own workplace example is ___.
How to run Stage 2
Use the visual and first audio or text for meaning before explaining language.
3. Rehearse with support
Practise the decisions, evidence, listening, or language moves that make the final task successful.
- Identify the missing grammatical role before reading options.
- Contrast tense, agreement, word form, pronoun, connector, and preposition items.
- Write one original workplace sentence for every corrected pattern.
How to run Stage 3
Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner and this task.
4. Complete the communication task
Exchange information, solve a problem, create a text, or reach a decision with a real outcome.
Complete twelve original sentences, explain the form-and-meaning evidence, then turn six target patterns into accurate sentences about a real or fictional workplace.
How to run Stage 4
Run the supported rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
5. Perform, receive feedback, and retry
Complete the task with keywords only, receive focused feedback, and repeat the weakest part.
Complete a new eight-item original set, justify each answer without naming only a rule, and produce four new sentences that use the same forms for different meanings.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, or less support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Complete twelve original sentences, explain the form-and-meaning evidence, then turn six target patterns into accurate sentences about a real or fictional workplace.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Correct one item and create a new sentence with the target pattern.
Success looks like: The learner chooses forms through syntax and meaning and transfers the grammar into original communication.
Evidence: mixed · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most.
STRAT · Task Strategy
2: Uses an efficient task strategy and supports decisions with evidence.
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.
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.
READ · Reading Comprehension
2: Finds and interprets the required written 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.
Use these scores after the independent attempt. Record one recurring need in the Engduo app when lesson-result fields become available.
How to run Stage 6
Record focused evidence, give one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.

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: Complete twelve original sentences, explain the form-and-meaning evidence, then turn six target patterns into accurate sentences about a real or fictional workplace.
- 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
- Use options from the same word family and explain why the three alternatives fail.
- 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
Label the gap as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, connector, or preposition first.
Make it harder
Use options from the same word family and explain why the three alternatives fail.
Likely difficulty
The learner may choose a familiar word, name a rule without checking meaning, or answer correctly but fail to use the pattern.
Correction priority
Prioritise sentence skeleton, time meaning, word form, collocation, and original transfer.
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
Score STRAT, LIST, READ from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: form-function, tenses, original-sentences.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt with fewer visible prompts.
