Why this lesson / ทำไมต้องเรียนบทนี้

TEACHER Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
  1. Set the listener, purpose and final outcome.
  2. Use the model for noticing, not line-by-line reading.
  3. Let the learner select and personalise useful language.
  4. Run supported practice, then remove the support.
  5. Delay feedback until the message is complete.
  6. Score the final task, give one improvement point and require a focused retry.
1

Understand the workplace outcome

A colleague’s behaviour affects a result. Give feedback about an observable event, explain its impact and agree a specific next step.

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.
2

Study the model exchange

You: In yesterday’s client call, the pricing answer came before we confirmed the client’s volume. That created confusion about the final rate. In the next call, could we confirm volume first and then quote the matching tier?
Colleague: Yes. I can use the pricing checklist.
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

Observation
  • In yesterday’s…, I noticed…
  • When…, … happened.
Impact
  • This meant that…
  • The effect was…
Next step
  • Next time, could we…?
  • What would help you…?
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.
4

Guided role play

Learner does: Change a judgement into an observable fact.

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.
5

Change one condition and respond

  1. Explain the work impact without attacking the person.
  2. Invite a response and agree one measurable next behaviour.

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.
6

Final role play · prove the skill

Give two minutes of constructive feedback, respond to one disagreement and finish with an agreed behaviour and review point.

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.
