What Does the Job Involve?
Listen for duties, schedule, workplace preferences and the action that must happen next.
Your Goal
Identify a worker’s main role, record at least five accurate details about duties, schedule and preferences, and state the two correct next actions after an update.
คำอธิบายเป้าหมายภาษาไทย
จับบทบาทหลัก บันทึกรายละเอียดเรื่องหน้าที่ ตารางเวลา และความชอบอย่างน้อย 5 จุด แล้วบอกสองสิ่งที่ต้องทำต่อจากข้อมูลที่เปลี่ยนได้
Why this lesson matters
For the learner: Job descriptions in real conversations mix routine duties, working times, preferences and immediate priorities.
For the teacher: The route preserves prediction → gist → detail → evidence → transfer → final listening, so the transcript never replaces listening.

Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
Keep the transcript closed until the learner has made a listening decision. Use no more than two full plays before checking evidence.
| Time | Teacher does | Student does | Required evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–4 | Uses the cover and three clue words. | Predicts likely role and details. | A listening purpose. |
| 4–8 | Plays Kajal once. | Chooses role and purpose. | GIST decision. |
| 8–14 | Replays once. | Records five details. | DET record. |
| 14–19 | Opens transcript after answers. | Cites words heard and corrects. | Two audio clues. |
| 19–23 | Changes one workplace detail orally. | Gives a useful response. | ACT rehearsal. |
| 23–30 | Plays Olivia, scores and retries. | Reports changed priorities. | GIST/DET/ACT. |
Feedback rule: Score the unsupported answer, correct one high-value listening error, then replay only the relevant phrase for a focused retry.
1. Predict the information you need
4 minPossible role clues
visitors · appointment details · records · schedule · front desk
Listening categories
Who? · duties · working time · likes/dislikes · urgent action
STUDENT TASK
- Predict one likely job.
- Choose three categories to listen for.
- Write keywords only—no full transcript.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Accept more than one sensible prediction. The purpose is to create categories, not guess the exact answer.
2. First listen · identify the main role
4 minKajal · Indian English · Amazon Polly Neural
FIRST LISTEN
Choose: receptionist at a health centre · café supervisor · office cleaner. Then give one reason from the audio.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Play once without pausing. Ask for role and purpose only; do not collect every detail yet.
3. Listen again · organise the details
6 min| Category | Your note | Accuracy check |
|---|---|---|
| Three duties | welcoming… / checking… / updating… | verb + object |
| Schedule | start, finish, days | exact time |
| Likes | people / team | two details |
| Dislike | one work condition | not a duty |
| Today’s priority | call + update | before when? |
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Allow keywords. Replay the full message once, then only one phrase if the learner can identify the missing category.
4. Check the evidence—not your memory
5 minEVIDENCE CHECK
- State the role and five details from notes.
- Cite two exact phrases you heard.
- Open the transcript only now.
- Correct one detail and explain what caused the error.
Transcript · open after the listening decision
I work at a community health centre. My main duties are welcoming visitors, checking appointment details and updating simple records. I usually work from eight thirty until four thirty, Monday to Friday. I like helping people and working with a small team, but I do not enjoy sitting at a desk all day. This afternoon, a visitor’s appointment has changed, so I need to call them before lunch and update the schedule.
Teacher Help · Stage 4
Ask “Which words support that?” Distinguish a detail the learner missed from a detail they misheard.
5. Transfer the message into a useful response
4 minWeak response
Okay, you are busy.
Useful response
I understand. First call the visitor before lunch, then update the schedule.
YOUR TURN
Give a two-sentence response: acknowledge the change, then state the next two actions in order.
Teacher Help · Stage 5
Require an action and timing. Do not accept a summary that does not tell the worker what comes next.
6. Final Practice · respond to a changed work plan
7 minOlivia · Australian English · Amazon Polly Neural
INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE
- After one listen, state the main change.
- After the second listen, record four details.
- Say which two actions come first and why.
- Answer: What can wait until three o’clock?
- After feedback, replay only the weaker phrase and retry.
Transcript · open after scoring
Quick update. The receptionist is no longer needed at the front desk this afternoon because another team member can cover it. Instead, she must prepare the visitor records for tomorrow morning. The phone call still needs to happen before lunch, but the schedule update can wait until three o’clock. Please confirm which two actions come first.
Final Practice evidence
GIST · Main changeIdentifies the change and purpose accurately.
DET · DetailsRecords at least four correct details with no invented information.
ACT · Next actionOrders the phone call and records preparation, and identifies what can wait.
