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.
- Convert eight questions into names, dates, numbers, or unusual noun targets.
- Scan an original notice without reading from the beginning.
- Read one sentence before and after the match to reject false matches.
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 an original research-festival programme containing speakers, venues, times, percentages, and dates. Answer twelve evidence questions and record the exact line that proves each answer.
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.
Locate ten specific details in a new two-page information text under a time limit, then verify three answers by explaining what each number or name refers to.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, stronger evidence, more accurate listening, or less support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Use an original research-festival programme containing speakers, venues, times, percentages, and dates. Answer twelve evidence questions and record the exact line that proves each answer.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Identify one distinctive search term and the sentence that verifies it.
Success looks like: The learner finds evidence efficiently and does not choose a matching number or name without checking its meaning.
Evidence: reading · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused correction at most.
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.
VR · Vocabulary Resource
2: Uses suitable target vocabulary naturally in an original message.
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.

Make it easier
Bold six distinctive terms and use one-column programme information.
Make it harder
Include repeated names and numbers that refer to different events.

Correction priority
Prioritise distinctive search targets and meaning verification around the match.
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 READ, VR from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: search-target, specific-evidence, verification.
Retry
Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt with fewer visible prompts.
