3. Rehearse with support
Practise the reasoning and communication choices that make the final task successful.

- Avoid saying the role is only a stepping stone.
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.
Read a fictional job description, mark two verified details, and build a role-specific answer using one genuine experience.
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 ‘Why are you interested in this role?’ in 75–90 seconds without reading a script.
Retry: Repeat once with clearer evidence, structure, or listener support.
How to run Stage 5
Run the main task: Read a fictional job description, mark two verified details, and build a role-specific answer using one genuine experience.
Exit check
Complete this without reading a model: Name one verified role feature, one relevant experience, and one credible contribution.
Success looks like: The answer could not be reused unchanged for an unrelated job.
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

60-minute extension
- Compare two similar roles and explain why this one fits better without criticising the other.
- 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
Highlight two role details and use a three-part connection frame.
Make it harder
Compare two similar roles and explain why this one fits better without criticising the other.
Likely difficulty
The learner may give generic praise, focus only on personal benefit, or claim knowledge not in the job information.
Correction priority
Prioritise verified specificity, credible contribution, and natural motivation.
Thai support rule

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