Confirm or correct the information
Look at six personal details. Decide which are true for you. For each false detail, say a useful correction: I’m not from Bangkok. I’m from Khon Kaen.
How to run Stage 1
3 min: Show six personal details and collect true or false responses.
Build negatives and questions with be
Negative: subject + am/is/are + not. Question: am/is/are + subject. Short answer: Yes, subject + am/is/are; or No, subject + am/is/are + not. Compare: You are a designer. You aren’t a designer. Are you a designer?
How to run Stage 2
5 min: Build one negative form with am, is, and are.
Find the checked and corrected details
Engduo Audio: Listen for meaning first. Audio never starts automatically.
Listen for the correction and the short answers.
Listen for is, are, isn’t, and the corrected details.
Listen to both information checks. Note the first idea, the correction, and the final confirmed detail. Then repeat the short answers with natural rhythm.
How to run Stage 3
5 min: Move be before the subject and practise short answers.
Turn statements into useful checks
Use these topics: name, hometown, job or study, class time, favourite activity, and one family detail. Make three questions, two negative corrections, and three short answers.
How to run Stage 4
6 min: Play both audio models and identify each correction.
Complete a six-turn information check
Your partner guesses three details about you. Confirm or correct each detail, add one new fact, and ask one question back. Change roles without reading complete sentences.
How to run Stage 5
7 min: Run the six-turn information check without interruption.
Final practice: Check and correct personal information
Task: Complete six connected turns. Ask at least two be questions, give two short answers, make one negative correction, and add one true detail.
Success: The forms of be match the subjects, the questions use question word order, and the learner corrects information without a teacher-supplied sentence.
