The priority problem is ___.
Choose an Innovation for the Community
Choose an innovation for a community by defining the problem, comparing evidence, testing feasibility, and explaining why one option offers the strongest value.
Your goal
By the end of this lesson, you can evaluate three innovations against cost, access, evidence, and impact, then negotiate one recommendation..
Why this roleplay matters
Use English to reach a practical outcome with another person. Learn a complete exchange, practise both roles and then change the details so the final conversation is not a memorised script.

Progress focus: CMLISTFP
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: Evaluate three fictional proposals: smart water meters, an electric community shuttle, and a digital health-booking kiosk. Allocate a limited budget.
- Record focused evidence, give one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.

1. Understand the situation and roles
Identify who each person is, what each person needs and what successful communication must achieve.
- community problem
- three options
- evidence
- recommendation

The shuttle is considerably more expensive, but it directly addresses access for people who cannot use digital services.

We recommend piloting smart water meters in one district, subject to a clear privacy review and support for residents who need help reading the data.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Clarify the two roles and the shared outcome. Model the situation briefly, but do not perform the learner’s role for them.
2. Build the useful exchange
Choose the opening, request, response, clarification and closing phrases needed for one complete conversation.
This option is more feasible because ___.
The strongest evidence is ___.
A potential unintended effect is ___.
It would benefit ___ most.
We recommend ___ subject to ___.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Select four to six useful chunks that form a complete exchange. Demonstrate how the turns connect; avoid reading the whole phrase bank aloud.
3. Rehearse one complete exchange
Practise the conversation once with visible support, then swap roles and change one detail.
- Compare options using impact, cost, access, and maintenance.
- Distinguish evidence from assumption.
- Use modifiers to express large, small, or uncertain differences.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Run one supported exchange, then swap roles. Change one concrete detail so the learner must listen and adapt.
4. Complete the roleplay with a new detail
Use the role information to solve the situation. Listen and react instead of reading every line.
Evaluate three fictional proposals: smart water meters, an electric community shuttle, and a digital health-booking kiosk. Allocate a limited budget.
Teacher Help · Stage 4
Give each role the information it needs. Let the conversation continue until the practical outcome is reached; correct only when communication stops.
5. Final practice: Roleplay independently
Complete a new round with keywords only, receive one focused correction and repeat the weakest turn.
Lead a decision meeting, compare all three proposals, challenge one weak assumption, recommend one option, and state a pilot condition.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, or less support.
Teacher Help · Stage 5
Remove the model and use keywords or role notes only. Give one communication correction and one language correction, then rerun the weakest turn.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Name the chosen option and the decisive comparison.
Success looks like: The recommendation answers a defined problem and uses evidence, comparison, and a realistic pilot condition.
Evidence: speaking · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most.
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.
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.
FP · Functional Performance
2: Completes the real communication outcome independently.
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 round. Point to one successful interaction move and one 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: Evaluate three fictional proposals: smart water meters, an electric community shuttle, and a digital health-booking kiosk. Allocate a limited budget.
- 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
- Revise the recommendation after receiving new access or maintenance evidence.
- 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
Score four fixed criteria and use a recommendation frame.
Make it harder
Revise the recommendation after receiving new access or maintenance evidence.
Likely difficulty
The learner may choose the newest idea or use cost as the only criterion.
Correction priority
Prioritise problem fit, evidence quality, precise comparison, and implementation conditions.
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.
