Engduo Audio: Licensed voices prepared for this lesson. Audio never starts automatically. Use the transcript after the first listening attempt.

1. Notice the situation

Use the visual and model audio to identify the communication decision before studying the language.

Interview evidence builder linking role requirement, strength, situation, personal action, result, and role value
Use this visual to notice, practise, and communicate.
  • role requirement
  • relevant strength
  • specific example
  • action, result, and role connection

One strength I bring is calm problem-solving. When two deliveries were delayed, I contacted both customers, offered revised options, and kept them updated.

As a result, both orders stayed active. This would help me support customers clearly when plans change.

How to run Stage 1

Confirm the observable outcome and connect it to one real learner need.

2. Build useful language

Select phrases for the meaning you need; do not memorise a full answer.

One strength I bring is ___.

For example, when ___, I ___.

My specific responsibility was ___.

I decided to ___ because ___.

As a result, ___.

This would help me in this role because ___.

How to run Stage 2

Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.

3. Rehearse with support

Practise the reasoning and communication choices that make the final task successful.

  • Replace an adjective with observable behaviour.
  • Keep the example relevant to the job description.
  • Use ‘I’ for your contribution without claiming others’ work.
How to run Stage 3

Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner.

4. Complete the communication task

Use information, evidence, or a partner response to reach a real outcome.

Match three genuine experiences to a fictional role profile and choose the strongest evidence for one requirement.

How to run Stage 4

Run the guided 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.

Answer ‘What is one of your strengths?’ in 90 seconds and handle one follow-up question.

Retry: Repeat once with clearer evidence, structure, or listener support.

How to run Stage 5

Run the main task: Match three genuine experiences to a fictional role profile and choose the strongest evidence for one requirement.

Exit check

Complete this without reading a model: State one relevant strength, give a concise example, and connect it to the target role.

Success looks like: The answer contains personal action and evidence rather than unsupported self-description.

Evidence: speaking · Repeat the weakest part once after focused teacher or self-feedback.

PROF · Professional Communication

2: Presents relevant professional evidence with an appropriate tone.

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.

CM · Communication Management

2: Organises ideas, turns, clarification and response coherently.

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.

FP · Functional Performance

2: Completes the real communication outcome independently.

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 feedback, 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 real learner need.
  • Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
  • Select only the useful-language items needed for this learner.
  • Run the guided rehearsal without reading every instruction aloud.
  • Run the main task: Match three genuine experiences to a fictional role profile and choose the strongest evidence for one requirement.
  • Record focused feedback, repeat the weakest part, and complete the exit check.

60-minute extension

  • Answer a challenge to the strength and add what the learner is still improving.
  • Switch roles, evidence, or constraints so the learner transfers the skill rather than repeating an answer.
  • Compare the first and second performance and record one specific improvement.

Make it easier

Use one role requirement and a STAR note grid with keywords.

Make it harder

Answer a challenge to the strength and add what the learner is still improving.

Likely difficulty

The learner may list several adjectives, invent numbers, or describe the team without personal contribution.

Correction priority

Prioritise relevance, authentic evidence, personal action, and a clear role connection.

Thai support rule

Keep the Thai panel closed unless examples, visuals, gestures, replay, and simpler English do not allow progress. Return to English after the key distinction is clear.

Progress record

Score PROF, CM, FP from 0–2 and record one recurring need from: STAR, role-relevance, personal-contribution.

Retry

Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a second attempt.
