Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
Do not reward a long list of features. Require every claim to connect to the buyer’s need, every recommendation to name a trade-off and every unknown to become a question.
| Time | Teacher does | Student does | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | Assigns one buyer profile. | Ranks the buyer’s needs. | A priority order. |
| 3–8 | Elicits comparison and trade-off language. | Builds useful expressions. | A functional phrase set. |
| 8–12 | Reveals the product evidence. | Compares relevant criteria. | Traceable claims. |
| 12–17 | Models one recommendation route. | Builds a true recommendation. | Evidence + trade-off. |
| 17–21 | Runs a partner exchange. | Asks and answers follow-up questions. | Responsive speaking. |
| 21–27 | Changes one constraint. | Revises and defends the choice. | An adapted recommendation. |
| 27–30 | Runs a fresh profile and scores. | Proves the outcome independently. | COM/VR/FP. |
1. Choose the buyer’s priorities
3 minMina · daily commuter
Laptop, crowded train, light bag, budget 1,700 baht.
Arun · weekend traveller
Clothes, rain, long walks, budget 2,000 baht.
STUDENT TASK
- Choose one buyer.
- Rank the four needs from strongest to weakest.
- Say which need should decide the choice.
Teacher Help
Ask ‘Which need would make the other features irrelevant?’ Keep this as a priority task, not a product discussion yet.
2. Explore useful comparison language
5 minCompare evidence
It is lighter than…
It offers more space.
The warranty is longer.
Match a need
This matters because…
That fits the buyer’s need for…
Show a trade-off
Although it is…, it…
The main drawback is…
STUDENT TASK
- Create one sentence for each function.
- Use lighter, more space and longer warranty accurately.
- Add one useful question for an unknown detail.
Teacher Help
Elicit the function before the phrase. Correct one comparison form, then require the learner to reuse it with a different feature.
3. Compare the product evidence
4 min| Product | Capacity and weight | Useful features | Price and warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| City Pack | 24 litres; 700 grams | Padded laptop sleeve; smooth back panel; recycled polyester | 1,590 baht; one-year zip warranty |
| Trail Flex | 30 litres; 1.1 kilograms | Water-resistant nylon; hip strap; external bottle pockets | 1,890 baht; two-year materials and zip warranty |
STUDENT TASK
- Give three relevant differences.
- Connect one fact to each of the buyer’s strongest needs.
- Name one useful unknown.
You are ready whenEvery claim can be traced to one product fact.
Teacher Help
After each claim ask, ‘Which fact tells you that?’ Do not allow invented comfort, waterproofing or laptop-size information.
4. Build a true recommendation
5 minSTUDENT TASK
- State the buyer’s two strongest needs.
- Recommend one product with two evidence links.
- Explain one advantage of the other product.
- Name one trade-off and one follow-up question.
Recommendation routeFor ___, I would recommend ___ because ___. It also ___. The other bag is ___; however, ___. I would still ask ___.
Optional model audio · open after your recommendation
Model 1 · Australian English · Olivia
Transcript · open after the task
For Mina, I would recommend the City Pack. It is lighter, has a padded laptop sleeve, and stays within her budget. The Trail Flex carries more and has better rain protection, but it is heavier and costs three hundred baht more. I would check whether the City Pack is comfortable before buying it.
Model 2 · Indian English · Kajal
Transcript · open after the task
For Arun, the Trail Flex is the better fit. It has more space, a hip strap, water-resistant material, and a two-year warranty. The City Pack is cheaper and lighter, but it may not protect his things in heavy rain. I would ask how much the bag weighs when it is full.
Teacher Help
Keep model audio closed until the learner completes the first recommendation. Use it as a comparison reference, not as a listening score.
5. Exchange recommendations
4 minSTUDENT TASK
- Give your recommendation in 45–60 seconds.
- Your partner asks one evidence question and one trade-off question.
- Answer without repeating the whole recommendation.
- Ask your partner whether the strongest need is satisfied.
You are ready whenYour partner can repeat the recommended product, two reasons and one trade-off.
Teacher Help
Listen for response, not monologue. If the learner ignores a follow-up, ask them to answer the question first and return to the recommendation second.
6. Adapt after a changed need
6 minNew constraint: Mina will walk twenty minutes in heavy rain twice a week, and Arun must carry the bag up five flights of stairs.
STUDENT TASK
- Identify which original recommendation is now weaker.
- Re-rank the buyer’s needs.
- Keep, reverse or qualify the recommendation.
- Explain the new trade-off with two product facts.
- Ask one question that could decide the remaining uncertainty.
You are ready whenYour revised choice responds directly to the changed condition.
Teacher Help
Do not require a reversal if the learner can justify keeping the choice. Require an explicit condition and evidence either way.
7. Final Practice · recommend for a new buyer
3 minNew buyer
Ploy carries a 15-inch laptop and lunch on a motorbike. She wants rain protection, has a 1,850-baht limit, and dislikes heavy bags.
FINAL PRACTICE
- Give a 60–75 second recommendation.
- Use at least three product facts and one trade-off.
- Name one unknown and ask a precise question.
- Teacher changes the budget to 1,600 baht. Adapt in one final sentence.
Final Practice evidence
COM · CommunicationOrganises a clear comparison, recommendation and response.
VR · Vocabulary RangeUses precise feature, value, warranty and trade-off language.
FP · Final PerformanceRecommends and adapts independently after the budget change.
Teacher scoring guide
Score the first unsupported performance, then score the focused retry separately.
0 · Not yetThe criterion is not demonstrated after one clear prompt.
1 · With supportThe criterion is partly demonstrated or needs supplied language.
2 · IndependentThe criterion is clear without a model or supplied sentence. Natural hesitation is acceptable.
Target: 5/6 overall with FP = 2 and no zero.
The lesson is complete whenYou match the evidence to the buyer and adapt the recommendation without a script.
Teacher Help · scoring and retry
Score the first recommendation and the final budget adaptation. Give one specific success and one focused retry target.
