Identify a person from simple descriptions

Your goal

By the end of this lesson, you can identify a person from simple descriptions.

Why this listening matters

Train the learner to understand the situation, collect useful spoken evidence and respond without depending on a transcript. The transcript stays closed until after the first listening attempt.

Progress focus: LISTCM

Use the final independent attempt to apply the 0–2 scoring guide consistently.

30-minute lesson route
  • Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
  • Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
  • Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
  • Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
  • Run the main task: Listen to four descriptions of fictional people in a busy classroom scene. Match each name card and justify two matches.
  • Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.

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

1. Listen for the situation

Look at the visual, keep the transcript closed and listen once for the speaker, situation and main purpose.

  • clothing · red cap
  • action · reading
  • location · near the window
  • decision · combine all clues

Engduo Audio • American English

Transcript — open after listening

Mina is wearing a red cap. She is reading next to the window. Who is Mina?

Engduo Audio • British English

Transcript — open after listening

Leo has curly hair and a green shirt. He is drawing behind the table.

Teacher Help · Stage 1

Keep the transcript closed. Set one gist question, play the audio once without pausing and accept a short answer before discussing details.

2. Build a listening map

Identify the meaning categories or signal phrases that will help you recognise the important information.

Who is wearing ___?

The person has ___.

They are ___ing.

They are next to ___.

It might be ___.

I choose ___ because I heard ___.

Teacher Help · Stage 2

Preview only the categories or signal words needed for the task. Do not explain every line or reveal the answers.

3. Listen again and collect evidence

Replay only as needed. Record the exact details that support each answer, then compare before opening the transcript.

  • Do not choose after the first clue.
  • Cross out a person only when a clue conflicts.
  • Explain the final choice with two heard details.
Teacher Help · Stage 3

Play again at natural speed. Ask what exact word, number, reason or change supports each answer; replay only an uncertain section.

4. Complete the listening task

Use the spoken evidence to choose, organise, clarify or respond to the real communication need in this lesson.

Listen to four descriptions of fictional people in a busy classroom scene. Match each name card and justify two matches.

Teacher Help · Stage 4

Require the learner to use the collected evidence to complete the lesson outcome. Prompt for clarification only when meaning breaks down.

5. Final practice: Listen and respond independently

Complete a fresh or less-supported listening attempt, give the required response and retry the weakest detail after one focused prompt.

Identify three people in a new scene with one similar distractor.

Retry: Repeat once with clearer meaning, listening, pronunciation, or organisation.

Teacher Help · Stage 5

Use a fresh item or remove visible support. Observe without interrupting, give one listening-focused correction and ask for a short retry.

Exit check

Complete this without reading a model: Choose the correct fictional person from four options and give two listening clues.

Success looks like: The learner combines clothing, action, and location rather than relying on one detail.

Evidence: listening · Repeat the weakest part once after one meaning-focused and one language-focused prompt at most.

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.

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.

Use these scores after the independent attempt. Give one specific success note and choose one next practice focus.

Teacher Help · Stage 6

Score the stated Progress Focus from the independent attempt. Name one successful listening behaviour and one precise next practice focus.

Teacher Guidance · How to conduct this class

30-minute must-do route

  • Confirm the observable outcome in child-friendly language and offer a safe fictional option.
  • Use the visual and first audio for meaning before explaining language.
  • Choose only the language chunks this learner needs and model with gesture or pictures.
  • Run one short supported rehearsal; keep correction light while meaning is developing.
  • Run the main task: Listen to four descriptions of fictional people in a busy classroom scene. Match each name card and justify two matches.
  • Record evidence, give one focused correction, repeat the weakest part, and celebrate the specific improvement.

60-minute extension

  • Use two characters with the same clothing but different actions and positions.
  • Change the picture, role, information, or constraint so the learner transfers the skill rather than reciting.
  • Compare the first and second attempt with one simple learner-friendly progress statement.

Make it easier

Use three clearly different characters and replay after each clue.

Make it harder

Use two characters with the same clothing but different actions and positions.

Likely difficulty

The learner may choose on the first clue and ignore later information.

Correction priority

Prioritise holding multiple clues and explaining the evidence.

Thai support rule

Keep the Thai panel closed unless pictures, gestures, replay, examples, and simpler English do not allow progress. Explain only the key distinction, then return to English.

Progress record

Use the 0–2 guide after the independent attempt and identify one recurring need for the next lesson.

Retry

Give one meaning-focused correction and one language-focused correction at most, then ask for a short second attempt. Use fictional alternatives, never require personal disclosure, do not publish learner work or recordings without the organisation’s appropriate consent process, and adapt movement or sensory demands.
