Progress Focus for this collection

Use the same three dimensions in every Free Talk lesson so progress is easy to compare across topics.

IDEA

Ideas and thinking

Develop an original idea, support it, test alternatives, and revise it when the conversation adds new evidence.

LANG

Useful language choices

Select words and phrases that make the meaning clearer instead of depending on a fixed script.

TALK

Independent interaction

Initiate, respond, follow up, extend, and repair the conversation with decreasing support.

Final Practice and progress rating

Score IDEA, LANG, and TALK from the Final Practice and its focused retry. A useful target is 5/6 overall with TALK = 2.

0

Rebuild

The learner cannot yet complete this dimension without modelling or step-by-step support. Rebuild one part and retry.

1

Developing

The learner completes this dimension with prompts, visible support, or a stronger second attempt.

2

Independent
