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.
- context and roles
- purpose
- change or problem
- next action

I thought the training started at nine. — It did originally, but the presenter has a morning flight, so registration now opens at ten thirty.
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.
The first speaker needs ___.
The detail changed from ___ to ___.
The speaker implies that ___.
The next action will be ___.
The evidence phrase is ___.
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.
- Preview question targets before listening.
- Use a four-box note path rather than a transcript.
- Recognise when a correction replaces an earlier detail.
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.
Listen to two original Engduo workplace conversations and complete role–purpose–change–action maps. Compare evidence with 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 conversation, answer four original questions, cite the evidence for each, and summarise the speakers’ final plan.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, or less support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Listen to two original Engduo workplace conversations and complete role–purpose–change–action maps. Compare evidence with a partner.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Report the purpose, changed detail, and next action in three sentences.
Success looks like: The learner follows how the conversation develops and supports answers with the relevant spoken evidence.
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: Listen to two original Engduo workplace conversations and complete role–purpose–change–action maps. Compare evidence with 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
- Add three speakers, a chart reference, and one implied next step.
- 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
Provide the four note headings and replay once after the first attempt.
Make it harder
Add three speakers, a chart reference, and one implied next step.
Likely difficulty
The learner may write too much, choose the first matching detail, or miss who will take the next action.
Correction priority
Prioritise question preview, speaker roles, updated information, inference, and evidence.
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: speaker-roles, detail-change, next-action.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt with fewer visible prompts.
