Engduo Audio: Licensed voices prepared for this lesson. Audio never starts automatically. Use the transcript after the first listening attempt.
1. Look, listen, and notice
Use the visual and model audio to understand the situation, viewpoint, or communication problem before studying the language.
- people and action
- object and position
- visible state
- unsupported inference

Several chairs have been arranged around a low table near the window.
How to run Stage 1
Confirm the observable outcome and connect it to one realistic learner need.
2. Build useful language
Choose the phrases that help you complete the task; do not memorise a full script.
Several items are arranged ___.
The door has been ___.
A cart is positioned beside ___.
No one is currently ___.
The statement adds an unsupported detail.
How to run Stage 2
Use the visual and first audio or text for meaning before explaining language.
3. Rehearse with support
Practise the decisions, evidence, listening, or language moves that make the final task successful.
- Separate visible facts from likely purpose.
- Contrast action in progress with a visible state.
- Listen for the correct noun paired with the wrong action or location.
How to run Stage 3
Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner and this task.
4. Complete the communication task
Exchange information, solve a problem, create a text, or reach a decision with a real outcome.
Use four original Engduo workplace images. Write one accurate and three plausible-but-wrong descriptions for each, then test a partner.
How to run Stage 4
Run the supported rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
5. Perform, receive feedback, and retry
Complete the task with keywords only, receive focused feedback, and repeat the weakest part.
Listen once to a new four-option original set, choose the visible statement, and justify each answer with two exact image details.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, or less support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Use four original Engduo workplace images. Write one accurate and three plausible-but-wrong descriptions for each, then test a partner.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Describe one image accurately in fifteen seconds without guessing purpose.
Success looks like: The learner matches grammar and meaning to visible evidence and rejects statements based on assumption or partial word overlap.
Evidence: mixed · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most.
STRAT · Task Strategy
2: Uses an efficient task strategy and supports decisions with evidence.
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.
READ · Reading Comprehension
2: Finds and interprets the required written 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.
Use these scores after the independent attempt. Record one recurring need in the Engduo app when lesson-result fields become available.
How to run Stage 6
Record focused evidence, give one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.

Teacher guide
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: Use four original Engduo workplace images. Write one accurate and three plausible-but-wrong descriptions for each, then test a partner.
- 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
- Use two images with similar objects but different actions and spatial relationships.
- 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
Underline subject, verb, and location in each description before choosing.
Make it harder
Use two images with similar objects but different actions and spatial relationships.
Likely difficulty
The learner may choose a sentence containing the right noun but the wrong action, state, or position.
Correction priority
Prioritise visible evidence, action-versus-state grammar, noun precision, and location phrases.
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
Score STRAT, LIST, READ from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: visible-evidence, present-progressive, position-language.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt with fewer visible prompts.
