A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and phrase lists on the learner page. The final dialogue prompts are open-ended, with no fixed answer key.
- Read the promotion exchange and distinguish congratulations from practical support for the new workload.
- Follow the research-award discussion and identify the funded work and departmental presentation.
- Develop a final prompt with two phrases and a specific question about the next stage.
Support and extension
Offer achievement/contribution/future notes. Extend with shared credit rather than implying the achievement was entirely individual.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
