TEACHER Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
- Set the listener, purpose and final outcome.
- Use the model for noticing, not line-by-line reading.
- Let the learner select and personalise useful language.
- Run supported practice, then remove the support.
- Delay feedback until the message is complete.
- Score the final task, give one improvement point and require a focused retry.
Understand the workplace outcome
A manager asks whether a deadline is still realistic. Give the current status, name the risk and propose the next action without hiding the problem.
Learner does: explain the listener, purpose and successful outcome in your own words.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Ask the learner to state the listener, purpose and successful outcome in plain English. Move on only when the task is clear.
Study the model exchange
Manager: Are we still on track for Friday?
You: The content is complete, but final approval is one day late. Friday is still possible if we receive approval by noon tomorrow. If not, I recommend moving the client review to Monday. I will confirm the date by 2 p.m. tomorrow.
You: The content is complete, but final approval is one day late. Friday is still possible if we receive approval by noon tomorrow. If not, I recommend moving the client review to Monday. I will confirm the date by 2 p.m. tomorrow.
Engduo Audio · Model 1
Engduo Audio · Model 2
Learner does: identify the job of each part of the model before borrowing any language.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Use the model once for meaning. Ask what each part achieves; do not turn the model into a long read-aloud exercise.
Build the phrase path
| Status |
|
|---|---|
| Risk and condition |
|
| Next action |
|
Learner does: explain the meaning of each group and create one true workplace example from every row.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Check meaning and appropriacy before correcting form. Keep only language the learner can explain and personalise.
Guided role play
Learner does: Give a 30-second green-status update.
Use keywords only. Change names, figures, reasons and actions so the message is yours.
Teacher Help · Stage 4
Give prompts or keywords, not a full script. Require the learner to make the content true for the situation.
Change one condition and respond
- Change one fact so the deadline becomes at risk.
- Offer one workable option and a precise follow-up time.
Retry rule: after feedback, repeat the weakest part with one changed condition.
Teacher Help · Stage 5
Take the other role or act as the reader. Change one realistic fact after the first attempt and delay correction until the message is complete.
Final role play · prove the skill
Deliver a 60-second deadline update and answer two manager questions. The listener must know the status, risk, condition, recommendation and next update time.
Success: complete the task independently and make the listener’s next action or understanding clear.
Teacher Help · Final assessment
Do not supply wording during the final task. Score the three Progress Focus areas, give one precise improvement point and run a shorter retry.
